Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all of the replies.
The alerts worked last night. Since I'm really only concerned about raccoons and the damage they are causing to my property, I'm going to need to find better ways to dial in the AI so I get better results. I'm going to make some changes tonight and see how they work. I ran some raccoon clips through AI testing in BI using the ipcam-animal model and raccoons are identified as fox, squirrel and raccoons. Percentages seem to be in the 40% - 50% range. Sending these alerts to my Pushover email address for these notifications worked well. If I missed the first notification, it would repeat it in 30 seconds.
