    I love Reolink for their HomeAssistant integrations, but damn does their detection settings suck.

    For one, it only works when the camera is at 0 degrees, so if you mounted the camera sideways to get the most out of a corridoor, good luck to you.

    For another, the time after detection and before detection recording window cannot be less than 10 seconds, so when reviewing the footage you often have to wait for something to happen.

    For a brother, you cannot tell it to filter out detection activity less than a second long. A bug whizzes past your screen? 30 second recording dedicated to it.

    For a lover, the proximity sensor is mostly just shape based, so if a large truck goes past it registers the same as if someone up close

    this actually makes me want to get reolink more… normally errors like this are off putting but in this case… it’s a feature not a bug.

    Time to set up Frigate and get 10x better detections. It can now be setup like 95% fully from the GUI and just a small amount of yaml.

        That’s just training, gotta run for a few months to collect good data points and then use frigate+ once to build a model specific to your area. Once you have a model for your home future refinements will be easier. I get almost 0 false detections after using it for 2 years and building my data set. I even have it tricked into detecting eggs in the chicken coop because I’m too lazy to run another detection suite.

    My buttcrack showed when I bent over to grab something in my backyard and my camera tagged it as a pet.
