    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    I've had the request before and resisted adding it. I don't believe the system should be responsible for managing files it didn't create.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    It's because it's watching for new files in that directory and that's a lot of files to watch for. I suggest making the following changes on the BlueIris side: 1. Change the retention policy on your aiinput folder to delete above 1GB and 1 hours. 2. Change the motion sensitivity settings on the...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Yes, on a per-trigger basis. See the wiki for all the MQTT settings.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Great! I really think the function node can be omitted. A simple switch node that looks at the msg.payload.state for "on" would replace it entirely. Just to confirm, you're running with enableAnnotations set to true, correct?

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Happens to the best of us :) This is why I recommend using Visual Studio Code to edit the settings files. It'll detect those errors for you as you type.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Overall statistics are reported via MQTT already. Adding per-camera statistics wouldn't be hard at all. Open a feature request!

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    You don't need a change node for it. On the MQTT in node set the output dropdown to "a parsed JSON object". Then basename will be in msg.payload.basename. Looking at the code it appears I never bothered to check in the changes to store the original image locally. Oops :D The only image...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    There's two different kinds of integrations worth doing. The first is setting up MQTT Binary Sensors to get motion history. I use this to show a history chart on my Lovelace page: The second is getting detailed info for use in the sequence in NodeRed. For that just directly register for the...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Open a support request on github and make sure to include your complete triggers.json file and all the log from startup through to first detection that fails.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Fascinating! I really need Windows WSL2 to support USB devices so I can run this all on my Windows box with a compute stick.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    It should. If you have issues with Deepstack complaining that the images are invalid then set awaitWriteFinish to true in your settings.json file.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Yes Deepstack uses some of the hardware stuff if available I believe.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    I have Home Assistant and NodeRed on an RPI4. BlueIris, Deepstack, and this trigger system are on a dedicated PC. It is a normal PC I built for this but nothing fancy. Entry level AMD CPU, 16GB RAM. I would not run DeepStack on an RPI.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Version 4.0.0 is out with Pushbullet support! Breaking changes settings.json and triggers.json can no longer have unrecognized properties in them. While this is technically a breaking change it shouldn't impact anyone in practice. The addition of this requirement is to ensure new users get...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Are you running Docker on the same Windows machine as BlueIris? If not, do. It's by far the simplest and easiest way to get this up and running. Once you have it on the same machine BlueIris see this comment in GitHub for an example of setting it up. I have Home Assistant + NodeRed managing all...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    The system uses an off-the-shelf AI solution that doesn't have a way to train it with different things. For your situation you can set up two triggers with the same camera. The first trigger should mask where the cars are parked and should trigger on cars. The second trigger shouldn't have a...

    See this comment on a support issue in GitHub: Correctly Write Mount Point for Source Images · Issue #286 · danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger. If that doesn't help feel free to open a support issue there for more assistance and be sure to include a copy of your docker compose and...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    You don't but since you're doing install/upgrades anyway I would. Make sure you're on Windows 10 version 2004, then install WSL2 and enable it. You may want it down the line and it is amazing :)

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Oof :( I feel some of your pain, I had the same problem with the PC I built for BlueIris. I didn't have to drag a ladder out and go in the attic, but I did have to disconnect it all and drag it over to my office with a monitor and keyboard. Then I spent 30 minutes online trying to find out how...

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    This is very likely a BlueIris configuration issue, not an AI Tool issue @CommittotheIndian. Before I wrote my own system from scratch that supported MQTT natively I had MQTT events firing from BlueIris when AI Tool kicked it to say motion happened. FWIW, MQTT support at the AI end, without...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Any Pushbullet fans out there? I've got everything written to add Pushbullet as one of the notification methods but wouldn't mind having someone take it for a spin before I promote the code to the dev image. If so let me know.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    No. That would defeat the purpose of having it be a headless service. If you need a UI I recommend using AI Tool.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    This means there's an error in your docker-compose.yaml file. I just tested with the sample config that's available on GitHub and it worked fine. The path and line count in that error is highly suspicious and makes me think you are not running docker-compose in the same directory as your...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Yes. See the trigger documentation for how to configure it. Note that I just realized I have a bug with it but I'll push an update out to fix that later today. Edit: I was mistaken, no bug. Woot!

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Mine is explicitly a headless design, to run as a service. There is no UI.

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    In terms of performance they should be essentially equivalent. The performance is largely driven by the time it takes to analyze each image and both approaches use the same DeepstackAI solution for that piece. In terms of features this approach has a lot more options and capabilities in terms...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Version 3.1.0 is now available: Triggers can now be manually activated via a REST API, and can be configured to retrieve a camera snapshot from a REST API instead of watching for image files that appear in a folder. This is useful for NVR systems other than BlueIris that don't support writing...

    AI motion detection with BlueIris: an alternate approach

    Ok you're in great shape then. Make sure you are running the latest version of Windows 10 (version 2004). Stop running the non-Docker Deepstack. Follow the instructions at danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger. You won't have to edit anything in settings.json. Edit docker-compose.yaml...
