# AI-R: Model Switching & Confidence Control

AI-R now gives you greater control over your detection models enabling operators to configure detection accuracy and performance to their environment in real time.

This release introduces two powerful new controls:

1. **Model Selection:** Switch between *Larger Object Detection* and *Smaller Object Detection*
2. **Confidence Threshold Adjustment:** Fine-tune your detection sensitivity directly from the dashboard letting you decide if AI-R prioritizes catching every possible detection or filtering for only high-confidence results.

### Configuring Detection Behaviour

In the **AI-R Settings** panel inside the Cockpit View, you’ll now find:

#### Model Type Dropdown

* **Large Object Detection Model** – optimized for close-range, high-confidence detection of people and vehicles.
* **Small Object Detection Model** – optimized for identifying people and vehicles at longer ranges or when targets appear smaller in wide-area surveillance missions.

### Confidence Threshold Slider

The **Confidence Threshold** slider lets you choose a value between **0% and 100%**, determining how confident the AI must be before labeling an object as detected.

* Lower values = more detections (less strict).
  * Useful when you don’t want to miss anything Eg, detecting small or far-away objects.
* Higher values = fewer detections (higher precision).
  * Useful for precision-critical environments. Eg, perimeter security or automated alert
