Nuisance alert workload
Fewer alerts must come from better classification — animals, foliage and headlights separated from people and vehicles — not from narrowing zones or switching detection off.
The honest test is over a fortnight on your own footage: useful alerts, nuisance alerts and anything missed, counted together.
How it is calculated
Hours = Δalerts × minutes × days ÷ 60.
Worked example
40 false alerts a day falling to 6, three minutes each, 30 days, at ₹300 an hour.
1,020 alerts avoided, 51 hours released, worth ₹15,300 as capacity.
