One annoyance I have is that every time I pull into or leave my garage, I receive an alert. I would otherwise want an alert from this camera.
Considering I rarely ever leave my garage doors open, I was thinking about integrating them with Blue Iris. I have a longer than most driveway and typically hit the button before come within view of the camera.
So either with sensors on the door or or a relay on the motors, if the door is opened (by remote or button) a trigger would be communicated and BI would pause alerts (at least on that camera) for say 20-30 seconds, so I don’t receive an unnecessary messages. Just enough time to get in/out of the garage.
My primary question is what would be the easiest method to accomplish this? If my camera had I/O capabilities could an input trigger potentially be used to signal a profile or shield change in BI?
I suppose there’s an IoT way of going about this but that’s something I’m not familiar with in relation to BI and customized programming. Not to say I couldn’t teach myself.
Or does anyone have other methods they’ve used or ideas to accomplish a similar goal?
I haven’t gone down the AI route- maybe I’m totally wrong but it seems too experimental at this point for me to want to deal with. Perhaps one day I expect it’ll be easy enough for the system to learn my cars and ignore them. Recognizing my lawn guy’s mower to ignore and the pool technician’s van to temporarily pause notifications for the pool cameras would be amazing.
