Does Blue Iris Have This Ability

[thedude22]

I’m about to purchase Blue Iris but I’m looking to use it for something specific. I’ll have a camera pointed at our mailbox. I want it to record on motion sense. The problem is our home is on a somewhat busy street. Would it be possible to signify the difference between a car or someone walking by and someone actually using the mailbox. I’m guessing by starting the recording if the object stays in frame for a extended period of time.

No you cannot trigger by how long an object strays in frame. But you can block the rest of the street and only focus on the box, then set to motion to require say 1 seconds of movement so it will only trigger when the mail person comes not a car going by quickly. Its not 100 percent. You can download the demo and try.

What fenderman is suggesting should work and just capture motion at the mailbox, but why not capture all the motion? You never know what you'll see...

Here's my 12mm Hikvision 2032 mailbox view from the last few days, with a little music.

Set to 1080P for best quality.
