No activity here in over 6 months. Is it working with BI5? Has it been fixed to do detection on more than one frame yet? Have the notification issues been fixed so we can get different notifications based on human vs no human?
Sentry is still around! We have been delayed a little bit on new features. We are going to improve the logic to take three frames per motion. That should be out this quarter, i.e. before the end of the year. FYI, in the interim, I have been advising many customers to leverage BI's Zone (Area of Interest) feature. For example, for one customer, they had a camera facing the door. The camera would trigger every time the door moved which is usually fine when someone is entering. However, if someone is existing, the frame when the door is opening is way to early to capture the person leaving. I advised the customer to place a small zone in front of the walkway to the door. Traffic in and out of the house were captured!
In regards to notifications, BI did create the following changes per our recommendations from customers.
Selecting auto-flag above results in automatic flags in the clip list so users can now filter on Sentry Human Alerts quickly.
With "Fire on Alert" option, results in ALL alerts (SMS, email, push etc) being sent ONLY when Sentry detects human activity.
The final checkbox changes the wording of SMS / email alerts so users can easily distinguish between the original "
Blue Iris alert" wording in the subject vs "Blue Iris Human Alert" wording in the subject.
