# What does the Alert Threshold do, and how do I tune it?

The Alert Threshold controls how confident Huvio's AI needs to be before it creates an incident. As the AI watches a clip, it builds up a running confidence score over time (for example: 0% → 10% → 30% → 75%); the moment that score crosses your threshold, an incident is created and your team is notified.
Alert Threshold is set **per camera** — each camera has its own threshold, set in that camera's configuration screen, so a high-risk camera can run a lower threshold than a low-risk one at the same site. (Your Sites list may show an "Avg. Threshold" for a site — that's a computed average of that site's cameras for at-a-glance viewing, not something you edit directly there.) Think of it less like an on/off switch and more like a sensitive gauge: small moves change how much you see.
* **Lower threshold** → more proactive. More incidents get flagged, including borderline ones, which means more due diligence but a better chance of catching real theft before it happens. Good for high-value or high-risk cameras where you'd rather over-check.
* **Higher threshold** → fewer, higher-confidence incidents. Good if a camera's feed is generating more alerts than your team can act on.
**To adjust it:**
1. Go to **Cameras** and find the camera you want to adjust.
2. Open the camera to view its configuration.
3. Update the **Alert Threshold** field.
4. Select **Save**.
5. Monitor incident volume for that camera over the next few days — small adjustments can meaningfully change how many incidents you see.

If you're seeing far more incidents than feels useful, raise the threshold a notch before assuming something's wrong — see also "Why does Huvio keep flagging false incidents?".
