Person Detection is an Alfred Premium feature that only picks up human action from Motion Detection. By using artificial intelligence and machine learning models, Alfred can now differentiate between humans from other triggers (e.g., light changes, clouds, and moving trees). What this means for you is that Alfred will only send you notifications when it detects human action.
Note: Your camera will automatically switch to record all motions under low-light conditions.
In this article, you'll learn about:
How do I turn on Person Detection?
- Upgrade to Alfred Premium
- Tap the Camera settings wheel
- Change "Detection Mode" to "Person Only"
- Set "Sensitivity" to "High" (Suggested)
For the best Person Detection results:
- Mount the Camera 1 to 2 meters above floor level
- Keep the Camera device 0.5 to 12 meters away from the object of interest
- Set the sensitivity to “High”
