Abstract: A system and method for improving the ability of a camera to detect objects or events occurring within its field of view and to accurately categorize them using Artificial Intelligence (AI) aided by input from users. The camera may include rules for determining when an object has entered its field of view, and for determining what category of object it is. When a new object is detected, an alert may be sent to a user and optionally to an analytics service as well. The user may provide input confirming whether the category of the event was correctly determined, and the analytics service may apply an AI algorithm to determine what, if any, changes should be made to the rule criteria in the camera. Updated rule criteria may be sent back to the camera thus improving its ability to detect objects in the future.
