Audio detection picks up abnormalities in ambient sound to trigger an event. The camera determines the range of sound based on the sensitivity and threshold which can be customized. Audio detection is more niche compared to the previous IVS types and would be used in areas where the ambient sound doesn’t change frequently. Common deployments for audio detection are storage facilities or vacation homes and cabins.

Is there a way to add a duration argument so that for example a passing car would not trigger it, but a car that stops and idles for 3 minutes would?
