Who this is for
For buyers who want the limits before they ask for a pilot.
The buyer question
When should a team avoid or delay a DHI pilot?
No useful camera view
If the current camera cannot see the event path, DHI should not pretend software can fix the scene. Adjust the camera plan first.
No response owner
If nobody owns the alert, the detection becomes noise within a week: operators learn to dismiss it the same way they learn to dismiss a motion-sensor false alarm. Define the response workflow, including who acts at 2am, before live alerting starts.
No approved data boundary
If security, privacy, or operations teams have not agreed on zones, retention, and access, pause the deployment until those boundaries are documented.
How to use this with DHI
Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
Validate "where dhi is not the right fit" on your live feeds.
Coordinate a 30-day architecture review and live camera validation based on the protocol described in "where dhi is not the right fit" for your facility.
Best follow-up: bring the current workflow that "Where DHI Is Not the Right Fit" is supposed to improve.
