I've noticed that UI3 now has a "Wildlife" option to filter animal triggers. I currently use my camera's AI for all of my triggers and would like my animal triggers to be filterable using the "Wildlife" filter. If I change my ONVIF config for each camera to use Wildlife instead of Animal for the Attribute, will that work? Thanks

Your camera would need to pass the term "Wildlife" within the ONVIF event to BI in order for that to trigger. I don't have any cams that have animal detection to see how that's passed. But if it doesn't work as you did it, then at least with the Dahua cams you can name the IVS rule whatever you want (click on the name) and then trigger on that. So you could make an IVS rule with the animal filter only selected, name it Wildlife, then set a contains for Wildlife and that will trigger.

I don't see the wildlife filter in the version of UI3 that I have with the latest stable version of BI (5.9.9.12) so I can't test that.

Memo is just what you want it to say in the notification, etc. It doesn't affect the event/trigger. Not sure what UI3 does with that.

It didn't work. UI3 shows it as "Object".

Yeah, not sure what UC3 is using to know what's tagged as "Wildlife." Metadata in some way? Is the Person/Vehicle/Wildlife only as passed from CodeProject?

Anyway, what I described above should pass "Wildlife" and trigger and show "Wildlife" within the clip list. As below, I just have mine saying "IVS-1" for an IVS person trigger but could change the name to whatever and it would display that in the same way in the list. Can then put "IVS-1" or whatever in the search box and filter the list that way.

Trying this now on the camera IVS settings.

I changed one of my rules to be labeled as "Person" and it passes that through and it's displayed in the clip list, but picking "Person alerts" in UC3 still doesn't pick it up. i.e., the filtered list is empty when I pick that. So UC3 must be looking for the Person/Vehicle/Wildlife tag based on something else. As above, you then can put "person" in the search box and it will find it and filter the list that way.

FYI... What I tried above didn't completely work. In BI, it seems the Alert is flagged correctly, but the Wildlife filter in UI3 doesn't work (See below). I've emailed Ken to see what I'm missing for this to work.

Yeah, that's what I'd guessed after trying it... must be relying on something else vs those tags. I tried it using "Confirmed person" which already does exist in the rules config and it still didn't work for me. Maybe I didn't have something quite right. Curious to see how it works for you once he adds that.
