I run HomeSeer which is tightly integrated with
BlueIris. Below are some examples of HS working closely with BI.
I don’t use a queue of any sort, it is a home not a business and both systems are on the same subnet.
I find queues just another layer to implement, debug and maintain. In 2 years I have yet to have a single HTTP call from either system to the other fail for any reason
Here are some examples of the 2 systems working together:
When I exit my car in the garage and stare at the garage cam I get a greeting with my name through the Sonos system (AI facial recognition)
When the back gate z-wave sensor triggers it signals the PTZ to zoom in on the gate area only and record, then pan back out and continue recording
When any of my back doors break contact (z-wave) the back yard cameras all stop sending me alerts (so I can walk around without dozens of alerts triggered by me)
When it is between 10pm and 7am if someone steps onto my front porch, the dining room light comes on 4 seconds later
I use a z-wave LuxMeter to auto switch camera profiles from day to dusk to night
When my front door is opened (smart lock) 4 different cameras start recording so I see all activities from many angles
I generally know when someone is on the front porch about 2-3 seconds before the doorbell can be rung (unless they are moving exceptionally fast, which happens)
When my garage door is opened beyond 10 inches I can enter/exit the garage without getting alerts. I chose 10 inches so that I can open the garage door ‘just a little’ to get fresh air and still get alerts if someone steps onto my driveway or front yard.
