If you deal with outdoor cameras and scenes, you'll want to consider something like PureActiv from PureTech Systems (puretechsystems.com). We use a geo-referencing scene that allows for determination of real target size, real speed, etc. That basically equotes to a low false alarm rate. Its also has a very flexible architecture. You can use it as a full command and control, or just as a video analytics add on to your existing VMS. Also deployable as a server based solution or an edge based solution. The other big value proposition for the solution, is its PTZ Auto Follow capability, which you can use with most existing PTZ cameras. You can check out some of the videos on the web site to further understand whether it would meet your needs.
