[Release] - an app for AI camera/webcam motion/object detection/recognition (motion, person, pet, vehicle, face using tinyCam)

Ah yes, but my point is that perhaps tinycam can be completely avoided in this case. Though worst-case, these $5 wifi camera boards will stream to tinycam.

If you're looking for a good AI program to run on a computer you might want to check out OnGuard.

It's still being developed, but it works well. I've been using it for a few months now and I like what I'm seeing. It also supports MQTT and browser based triggers so integration with Hubitat is possible via Maker API.

Nice! A project for a gloomy weekend :slight_smile:

Decided to have a try of tinycam, no issues with leaving a phone plugged into the charger all the time?

The battery will eventually get killed quicker than if it was stored at ~40% charge. If you don't care about a dead/dying battery, it's no problem. I'm doing this:

Thanks for the link - been a while since I made a new task - time for a new project!

@Angus_M Thanks you for creating this App it works wonderfully. I have been using this TCPro for about three years and it just gets better with each release. I run this on an old Google Pixel C tablet running Lineage OS 18.1 along with fully kiosk integrated with Hubitat & Synology SurveillanceStation. TCPro transcoding an H264 feed via rtsp from synology to a dashboard tile. Hubitat monitors TCPro motion and recognition engine now thanks to your hard work, announcing if there is a car, person or animal approaching the front drive. I recently discovered Telegram integration on TCPro and now get notifications on mobile when out in the backyard or around the pool.
Great work much appreciated, HE platform exceeds my expectations when compared to my years on ST. You've got me thinking now about cameras as presence sensor for keeping the lights on.

So glad it's useful for you. I find what's possible with HE and apps such as this amazing too. I'm using person and face detection in our living room to keep the lights on and it works perfectly. Enjoy!

@Angus_M what's its hpm name?

Not sure who it was but I just received a PayPal donation for this app! Amazing and Thank You! I've never earned anything from my technology dabblings over the years so it was a shock and exciting at the same time. Now I'm off to enjoy my free beer! :smiley: :beers: :+1:

I dont understand how to get the tiny cam connector child instances to show up.
There is no child app; just the tiny cam connector.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, there is. Check above.
