AI Object Detection User's Manual Version 1.0

1. Introduction
AI Object Detection (AI-OD) is an add-on to X-Series Network Manager software that will allow
images received from selected cameras to be analyzed in order to determine if targets of interest are
present. The currently available targets of interest are:
•Person
•Vehicle
Additional targets of interest may be added in the future as the AI-OD models improve. Contact
ATSI/Buckeye Cam service at www.buckeyecam.com for specialized target requests.
If a target of interest is detected in an image, the software can take various user defined actions such as:
•Email images to a special email address
•Save pictures to a special directory
•Speak a user defined alarm message
•Play a user selected sound
It is important to note that the images are analy ed once they are received at the software. The AI-
OD function does not prevent images from being transmitted and it does not affect the motion detection
function of the cameras.
Shown below is a high level flow chart of how the AI process work.

Note: Throughout this manual it is assumed that the user is familiar with the X80 Wireless Camera
System and X-Series Network Manager software. Manuals and training videos can be found at

1. Camera detects motion and takes a picture. This picture then gets
transmitted to the base.
2. Once the image has arrived at the base, we look to see if the camera is a
part of any active detection profiles. If so, we run the image through the AI
process that will return detected targets if any are detected. If no targets are
detected then we process next image.
3. If a target is detected, we look to see if any detection zones are defined in
the camera. If there are detection zones defined, we determine if the target
should be recognized or ignored based on how the zones are defined(see
section 5.Detection Zones).
4. If the target that was detected is valid, we look at the detection profiles
for the camera to determine what actions to take(email, play sound, save to
file, etc). (see section 3.AI Detection Profiles)
5. Profile actions are executed if defined

2. Installation
2.1. Computer Requirements
Minimum requirements are:
•Memory: 8GB AM or higher
•Processor: Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz or higher
These are the minimum requirements and users may experience performance delays with minimum
hardware configuration. Newer laptops and computers should run our AI. High quality processors and
graphics cards can reduce time it takes to process each image.
2.2. How To Install
There are two ways to install a AI model onto your X80 Network manager:
2.2.1. Downloading base model through software
Start by clicking the update button, shown in the red box below.
AI Object Detection User's Manual Version 1.0 Page 3 of 32

Next click the check for updates button,shown in the red box.
AI Object Detection User's Manual Version 1.0 Page 4 of 32

Then click the “Download AI” button. Follow the prompt to download the base AI model.
NOTE: This will only appear if the software determines that your computer is capable of running the
AI software.
2.2.2. Download from our website
Specific models can be downloaded from our website. For more information contact tech support at
www.buckeyecam.com

3. I Detection profiles
An AI detection profile is a user defined profile that controls what actions the X-Series Manager needs
to take when an image comes back with detected targets. Detection profiles can define things like:
•Where to email images on detection of targets
•Special directory to save images if needed
•What time frames you want to handle target detections
•If you would like a sound to be played on target detection
•What cameras you want this profile to apply to
You can define multiple detection profiles to meet the specific needs of you situation.
3.1. Navigating to Detection Profiles .
Start by selecting the menu button in upper right hand corner of screen, shown in the red box below.
