    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    I have added a new release V1.2.1. This contains: 1. The formal MQTT support (with checkbox for secure connections). 2. It filters out parked vehicles from motion reporting. I was able to test that reasonably well. Note that these vehicles will still be outlined in the main window...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    This is definitely related to the MQTT stuff. It didn't happen for me either on the development machine or the test machine. I was half expecting an error like this but didn't see one. The only thing I can say is that you'll need to start clean. I don't see a way of fixing this in the code...

    You are correct. I sort of got lazy and assume that if you had a user name and password you wanted a secure connection. There isn't a reason you couldn't have a user name and password on an insecure connection. Personally, I that sending any user name and password over an unsecured connection...

    Just as a heads up. For those of you who don't know DeepStack has now gone open source. They also put out a couple of new releases. However, they don't expect a new Windows release for about a week. That version will include NVidia GPU processing. Last night I installed DeepStack on...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    Just to be clear. IF you can get the main window up you can also go to the Help menu and Log File. That will save you hunting around for the log file under AppData. However, it sounded like you couldn't get there from here.

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    I have posted a new version with MQTT on GitHub. However, it is not a new "Release". You'll need to download the zip (or whatever) and install the setup.exe. Let me know if you have any problems. I would like at least one or two people to test it. I also updated the .docx readme file...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    That's a new one on me. Please look in: c:\users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming (substituting your name). That may be a "hidden" directory for you. In that directory you should see a file call "OnGuard.txt". That is the log file for the application. Please let me know if you see anything...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    If all you want is lighting control then the contents of the data I publish to MQTT isn't too important. Right now (locally) I'm just passing the motion file name as the payload. I assume that you just need the fact that it was published, not what was published. If people really care about...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    I do have basic MQTT working locally. The vast majority of that work was choosing what library to use for the MQTT interface and getting a general feel for how things work. It would be very helpful to know how people are using MQTT so I can make sure that I meet your needs. Just out of...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    In the grand scheme of things sending binary image data is cheap. DeepStack is so slow that the data is instant in comparison. However, I think I'll start with just the notification of activity. I think I can get that going within 2 - 4 weeks. It doesn't look too hard, but since I haven't...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    Also, cars/trucks are a little tricky. Blue Iris can shift between recognizing an SUV as a car or as a truck. Simple lighting changes can shift that definition, along with a considerable shift in outline. Often you will see a vehicle in an image recognized as both a car and a truck. The...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    Negative activity is a little tricky. For instance, if a car pulls into your driveway and sits there the object/car will still be recognized. That isn't a problem if there isn't motion, but if some other motion happens (say a cat moving) to trigger Blue Iris images then I would get false...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    Do you want On Guard to connect to a third party server/broker or do you want me to run one locally? At this point I think I'll start with publishing the activity. Your client can subscribe to messages. However, I don't know what the "standard" practice for something like this is. I sort of...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    OK, I've looked a little at MQTT. I am thinking about publishing something like: "OnGuard/YourCameraName/YourZone/FoundObjectType. Do you want me to pass file name (I assume yes), confidence (?), anything else?

    I have thought a little about MQTT. I'll look into it further. I'll put at least exploring the idea on the TODO list. If you want pictures on your phone you can use the email feature and use your phone number plus your carrier's email address. There is a carrier helper in the Tools/Add/Edit...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    To some extent I'm taking requests on new features and improvements. If I can add something reasonably useful with moderate effort I'll look into it. If people are really interested in using Telegram that might be something along those lines. Right now I'm working (slowly) on determining...

    Yet another new release containing bug fixes. The new version is here: Release On Guard Security Assistant Version 1.1.3.2 · Ken98045/On-Guard. These fixes are related to motion only browsing. Files were incorrectly added (during browsing only) when there were objects found, but those objects...

    Version 1.1.3 has now been released on Github here: Release On Guard Security Assistant Version 1.1.3 · Ken98045/On-Guard . It fixes a bug that was (in case anyone cares) apparently the result of Visual Studio auto-generated code. It also fixes a couple that were mine. Note that this code...

    Yet Another Free Extension for Blue Iris Adding AI Object Dectection/Reduction in False Alarms/Enhanced Notification of Activity/On Guard

    The memo field does show up in the iPhone Blue Iris app (although, again the font is small). However, the memo does not show up in the app on my Android tablet. It just shows "External". I assume that Android phones will have the same problem, but I don't have one to test. This may be a...
