Human & Vehicle Classification AI

MD 2.0 and MD 3.0 are LTS's deep learning motion detection technologies — built to tell the difference between a person, a car, and a wind-blown branch, so the alert you get is one worth acting on.

Pin-Pointing Human & Vehicle Events

LTS's Platinum range of MD-equipped cameras and recorders is purpose-built to filter the false alarms that waste an installer's time and erode a client's trust in their system.

LTS Platinum turret camera with human and vehicle classification

LTS's MD-series cameras are designed to pin-point human and vehicle events specifically — filtering out the false alarms that weather, animals, and other irrelevant motion routinely trigger on conventional motion-detection systems.

When a genuine human or vehicle event is detected, instant push notifications are sent straight through the LTS Connect app, so the end user — or the monitoring team — knows immediately that something worth seeing has happened.

  • Deep learning, not just pixel motion: the camera's VCA is trained on the shapes of human bodies and motor vehicles, not simply changes in brightness or movement.
  • Built for every scale: from a single residential turret camera through to enterprise NVR deployments across dozens of channels.
  • Delivered straight to the app: classification events trigger real-time alerts via LTS Connect, with no separate monitoring hardware required.

How Deep Learning Classification Works

Every MD-equipped LTS camera runs the same basic logic — but only genuine human and vehicle shapes make it through to a notification.

Motion Detected VCA Shape Analysis Deep learning model Matches Human or Vehicle Shape No Match — Animal / Weather / Debris Push Alert via LTS Connect App No alert if no match
 

Beyond "Person Detected"

Select MD cameras go further than a simple human/vehicle flag, capturing attributes that make searching recorded footage dramatically faster.

LTS human classification attribute detection example

Where motion is matched to a vehicle, select LTS cameras can also report colour and vehicle type. Where motion is matched to a person, select cameras can report gender, clothing colour, and other key identifiers — not every MD device captures all of these attributes, but where it's supported, it turns a vague clip into a searchable record.

  • Vehicle attributes: colour and type, for faster filtering of recorded footage by vehicle.
  • Human attributes: gender, clothing colour, and other descriptors on supported models.
  • Smarter NVR search: attribute data is indexed by the recorder, so reviewing footage after an incident takes minutes, not hours.
Generations
 

MD 2.0 vs MD 3.0

MD 3.0 is the latest evolution of LTS's human and vehicle classification engine, refining the deep learning model first introduced with MD 2.0 across LTS's current camera and NVR ranges.

MD 2.0

Established VCA Platform
  • Deep learning human and vehicle shape classification
  • Filters false alarms from animals, weather, and foliage
  • Attribute capture on select models (colour, type, gender, clothing)
  • Deployed across the broad current Platinum and Pro-X camera ranges
  • Supported by Basic, Standard, and Advanced-tier NVRs

NVR Compatibility & Classification Level

The depth of human/vehicle classification available depends on the NVR processing it — pair MD cameras with an Advanced-tier recorder for the fullest feature set.

Find the Right Clip in Seconds

Classification data isn't just for alerts — it dramatically speeds up reviewing recorded footage after an incident.

LTS streamlined playback analysis interface

Instead of scrubbing through hours of footage, installers and end users can filter recorded video by classification type directly in the NVMS interface — jumping straight to clips containing a human or a vehicle and skipping everything else.

LTS NVMS data retrieval and event search

Combined with NVMS data retrieval tools, classification metadata means forensic evidence can be located rapidly after a security event — turning what used to be a manual scrub through timeline footage into a targeted, filtered search.

 

Built for Every Site Type

Indoors and out, human/vehicle classification extends the intelligence of virtually any installation — new or existing.

Why It Matters for Installers

Classification technology pays for itself in reduced support overhead and happier clients.

No More Nuisance Alerts

Security personnel and end users no longer need to be concerned about an animal, a moving branch, or rain triggering a false alarm.

Faster Forensic Search

Classification metadata means evidence can be located and reviewed rapidly after a security event, rather than scrubbing through raw footage.

Resources Go Where They Matter

Filtered alarms and classifications mean time, effort, and budget go directly toward genuine protective and preventive measures.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from installers about MD 2.0 and MD 3.0 classification.

What's the actual difference between MD 2.0 and MD 3.0? ⌄
MD 3.0 builds on the same deep learning classification approach as MD 2.0, refining the underlying model for improved accuracy as it rolls out across LTS's newer camera and NVR generations. Both work within the same LTS Connect and NVMS ecosystem, so there's no change to how installers configure or monitor the system.
Does every MD camera capture gender and clothing colour? ⌄
No — attribute capture (gender, clothing colour, vehicle colour and type) is only available on select MD-equipped models. All MD cameras perform core human/vehicle classification, but the richer attribute data depends on the specific camera.
Why does the NVR model affect classification level? ⌄
The depth of classification processing — Basic, Standard, or Advanced — depends on the NVR's own processing capability. Pairing an MD camera with an Advanced-tier NVR such as the LTN8932H series unlocks the fullest feature set, including richer attribute search.
Can MD classification be retrofitted to an existing installation? ⌄
Yes. Installers can add MD-equipped cameras to virtually any installation, new or existing, and amplify protection immediately — there's no need to replace an entire system to gain classification capability on the cameras being added.
How are alerts delivered to the end user? ⌄
When a genuine human or vehicle event is classified, an instant push notification is sent through the LTS Connect app — no separate monitoring hardware or third-party alert service required.
