Looking to get more precise alerts from your Dahua CCTV system? Dahua’s Smart Motion Detection (SMD) is a powerful feature that helps filter out false alarms by focusing only on the movements that matter — people and vehicles. In this guide, we’ll show you how to quickly set up SMD through your Dahua device’s WebUI.
What is Smart Motion Detection (SMD)?
Smart Motion Detection (SMD) takes your standard motion detection a step further. Instead of simply reacting to any movement — like rustling leaves or passing animals — SMD uses advanced AI algorithms to identify and trigger alerts only for humans or motor vehicles moving in the camera’s view. This greatly reduces false alarms and ensures you only get notifications that truly matter.
