Detection & AI

Vistralio supports object detection, motion detection, ALPR, and face matching.

Per-device detection settings

For each device you can configure:

  • detection enabled
  • detector model
  • object list
  • detection FPS
  • minimum confidence
  • hardware mode
  • per-object overrides

Object selection

The detector label list is loaded dynamically from the selected detector.

Vistralio keeps support for labels such as:

  • object labels from the model
  • motion
  • face
  • plate

Zones vs masks

Detection behavior now separates zones from masks.

Zones

Used for event context.

  • named alert areas
  • optional note per zone
  • optional threshold override
  • optional dwell time override

Masks

Used for ignore areas.

  • separate from zones
  • can be titled and documented
  • suppress object/motion pickup inside the masked area

No zones

If a label has no zones configured, Vistralio scans the entire frame.

Inferred scene details

Vistralio can add readable inferred details to event metadata without using a dedicated attribute model.

Examples:

  • person upper/lower clothing colour
  • likely hi-vis / hard-hat / jeans cues
  • vehicle colour
  • animal colour

These are shown in the Events UI and per-device event views.

ALPR

Plate recognition is per-device. Plate events include:

  • plate text
  • plate crop
  • event metadata

Known plates are managed through the plates API/UI section.

Face recognition

Face recognition is per-device. Face events include:

  • matched face label
  • event metadata

Known faces are managed through the faces API/UI section.
