Camera ONVIF trigger alerts in Blue Iris - Considering using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection

[105437]

If I'm using both IVS and Smart Motion Detection to trigger ONVIF for Vehicles, does the first trigger win, or could using both of these at the same time cause two triggers in BI? Thanks

Depending on your setup (and version of BI) it could be first trigger wins or both trigger.

Use the "New zones/sources only (additive)" option if you are going to have several rules being used in one camera and want to be able to do something with each rule separately. This will generate multiple triggers.

Use the "New zones/sources only (exclusive)" option if you want the first trigger to be the only trigger. Just keep in mind there could be instances that the motion re-trips it if the object lingers around the field of view.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Just be aware that using those newer "additive/exclusive" options turn what would traditionally be one (real-world, physical) event into many tiny (on the order of one second) events/alerts on the BI timeline. Bit of a bummer that it has no way to distinguish and combine them into one alert.
