Eliminating False Alarms with Smart Motion Detection on Viewtron DVRs

As a co-founder of CCTV Camera Pros, I know firsthand how frustrating false alarms on security camera systems can be, especially when they occur outdoors. Whether it's moving trees, shifting shadows, or nighttime noise, these false alarms are not only annoying but can also lead users to disable motion detection altogether. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce an exciting new feature on our Viewtron DVRs that tackles this issue head-on. It's called Smart Motion Detection (SMD), and it can dramatically reduce those annoying false alarms by distinguishing between human and vehicle movements.

Please watch this video to learn more about Viewtron Smart Motion Detection and see how easy it is to setup on Viewtron DVRs.

The Challenge: Dealing with False Alarms

False alarms are a common issue for security camera systems that rely on video motion detection, particularly in outdoor settings. If you've used these systems before, you're likely familiar with triggers caused by:

- Trees and bushes swaying in the wind

- Shadows shifting as the sun changes position

- Infrared Night Vision (IR) noise at night

- Small animals or insects passing by the camera

These insignificant triggers can generate numerous false alarms, overwhelming the system and making it challenging to identify genuine security threats. So, what can be done to solve this pervasive issue?

Introducing Smart Motion Detection

Viewtron DVRs' Smart Motion Detection feature provides a significant upgrade over traditional motion detection methods. By enabling it, you can set the system to detect only human and vehicle movements, ignoring most of the other motion triggers that typically cause false alarms.

This feature doesn't stop at just motion detection. You have additional customization options to enhance your monitoring experience, including enabling mobile push notifications, triggering external alarm sensors, and configuring DVR buzzers for instant alerts.

Easy Integration with Existing CCTV Cameras

One of the standout features of Viewtron DVRs is that you can use your existing CCTV cameras. The smart motion detection is handled by the DVR itself, so there's no need to replace all your cameras. However, for the best results, we recommend upgrading to HD-over-Coax BNC cameras if you're currently using older analog systems. The improved resolution offered by HD cameras ensures more accurate motion detection and fewer false alarms.
