Motion and HSV recording

[mihailescu2m]

I have camera with hardware motion sensor, exposed through MQTT. I enabled HSV, and want to use recording on person detection. Currently, the only way to get that working is to set videoanalysis.active = true. Is there a way to have HSV detecting motion using MQTT camera sensor instead of videoanalysis? My understanding is that object detection is done by Apple in the cloud, so I think videoanalysis only does motion detection and not object recognition?

I think object detection is done on your network and object classification is done in the cloud.

Ref: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/camera-security-sec525461d19/web HomeKit decrypts the audio and video streams on the home hub and analyzes the video frames locally for any significant event.

Yes by object detection and object recognition I meant classification, vs motion detection. So the question is the same: Is there a way to have camera ui HSV plugin detecting motion using MQTT camera sensor instead of videoanalysis?

I am using that :) Without HSV enabled, my config works and the motion sensor gets triggered. With HSV enabled, there is no recording being done, no motion detection taking place for HSV with MQTT, if videoanalysis is disabled.

EDIT: checked again and found a tiny typo. So now it works.

@mihailescu2m Does the mqtt client functionality work and trigger HSV classification even when the video analysis is off?

[mihailescu2m]

@utezduyar yes, and my cpu usage now is low

There is no MQTT broker support in camera.ui right, only client? You must be using an external broker.

[mihailescu2m]

Yes, I am running Homebridge in docker, so I added another container with mqqt broker and another one with onvif2mqtt :)

@mihailescu2m can you share the conf for onvif2mqtt, I am trying to implement this for my camera.

@Rahulsharma0810

$ cat config.yml
mqtt:
  host: <mqtt_broker_ip>
  port: 1883
onvif:
  - name: <camera1_name>
    hostname: <camera1_ip>
    port: <camera1_onvif_port>
    username: <camera1_username>
    password: <camera1_password>
  - name: camera2
    hostname: 192.168.0.22
    port: 2020
    username: camera2user
    password: camera2pass

@mihailescu2m thanks for it can you share your whole docker-compose setup, in my case even though both services are up, it is not detecting any event.

[mihailescu2m]

@Rahulsharma0810 I don't use docker-compose for this, just started a container with onvif2mqtt ...

[Rahulsharma0810]

Thanks for the quick reply, I made it work, can you share your cameraui mqtt conf.

Thanks @mihailescu2m

      "mqtt": {
          "motionTopic": "onvif2mqtt/<camera1_name>/motion",
          "motionMessage": "ON",
          "motionResetTopic": "onvif2mqtt/<camera1_name>/motion",
          "motionResetMessage": "OFF"
      },
