How many core does the CPU running deepstack has and are you running deepstack on High?
I added a property to the Camera class called 'last_detections_summary' that's a pretty formatted string of detections (ie: 'person (99%) | car (50%) | dog (10%)') and I then I added a [summary] replacement variable and you can use that to feed memo in the url. I can create a pull request for you if you want to pull it in.
@GentlePumpkin hope you don't mind my contributions. Feel free to kick back anything you don't want. Don't want to mess with your project. It's very cool

I think it's not possible to trigger a specific stream, only a specific camera.
Yes sure, sounds great. I'm sometimes just careful to add larger changes without having the time to test them.
No not at all! I just noticed that you added multiple pull requests which hadn't seen before@GentlePumpkin hope you don't mind my contributions. Feel free to kick back anything you don't want. Don't want to mess with your project. It's very cool
.Looks amazing, let's add this! Btw: does the memo text also show up in the Web interface UI3?

Also curious if this shows in the mobile application? This is very cool. Looking forward to testing this out.

Forum member @neile recently developed an interesting alternative to AI Tool which is entirely Docker-based + the following main features:
https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ai-motion-detection-with-blueiris-an-alternate-approach.48406/
- AI detection using DeepStack.ai (inspired by gentlepumpkin's idea and initial implementation)
- Initial configuration and installation with just two files
- Support for web requests to trigger BlueIris camera recording
- Support for sending MQTT messages
- Support for sending Telegram messages

You practically have to create an image of the same size as the camera image that is transparent everywhere where detections should be possible and not transparent in masked areas. I use Paint.Net and there you can create an empty new layer of the same size above a reference picture you opened with Paint.net, then paint all areas that should be masked in this new layer and finally delete the layer with the image and save it as png.
I was able to finally get it, thanks!
Next (and hopefully last) question: I must have some setting incorrectly checked in either BI or AI Tool, because I want to have it set up such that after AI Tool scans an image and detects a person, Blue Iris sends an alert via MQTT to my Node Red in Home Assistant. But with my current incorrect settings, Blue Iris sends an alert via MQTT every single time an image is taken by BI, whether or not something was actually detected by AI Tool!
I must be missing something here, because it seems like with my current setup, here's what happens when there's motion.
1. Generally, the main "camera" is recording 24/7 with no triggers/alerts. Clone of the main camera, "cameraai," takes pictures (no video) only when motion is detected.
2. Then, when Blue Iris (cameraai) detects motion all on its own, cameraai takes a picture and send it to AI Tool's folder
3. At the same time, because Blue Iris detects motion, and has an alert setup to send MQTT message, it sends the MQTT message regardless of AI Tool's analysis
4. AI Tool completes analyzing the picture and determines whether or not there is a person. This information goes nowhere; it doesn't trigger anything in BI (if person) nor does it prevent BI from not sending the MQTT message (if no person). No matter what conclusion AI Tool came to, it keeps that information to itself.
What am I doing wrong here?
The main camera is the one that should send the MQTT event, not the cameraai one. Just add it to the On Alert trigger list of the main camera (HD feed) and it should work as you expect. That's how I was running for a while until...
... I added MQTT support directly in my alternate, Docker-based, approach. I really didn't like messing with BlueIris for MQTT events and wanted it to come directly from the AI system to my Home Assistant install. That way I can have home automation control when to kick BlueIris into recording with advanced logic, e.g. when I'm on the deck enjoying the nice weather there's no need to trigger HD recording.

Oh I hope that's the fix! Wait, does that mean I need to change for my main 24/7 camera, under "Alerts" tab "Fire when"? Because it's currently set to "Never." Or should I be changing something on my "Trigger" tab?

on the HD camera motion detection should be turned off, but the fire when "this camera is triggered" should be on under the alerts tab.

Ok, I have the main camera to Fire When this camera is triggered, but the obvious question is how does it get triggered? On the Trigger tab, I have nothing checked under Sources. The only box checked on that entire Trigger tab is "Capture an alert list image."
