It's not really complex :-) i agree you could ditch homeassistant but a MQTT server in your home come's in handy when you start to tinker around and want to do more :-). The HA server just makes it nice and automates a general interface to control switches and read out the status of it or other sens...

But we are going off topic (mods: excuse me for that and doing double post )

So the Reed contact sensors mentioned in the YT video provides that "unambiguous" trigger about garage door being open or close? Yes.. a reed switch is a lead that has a small "box" type of thing on it.... When a magnet passes it it bends the metal part inside so it makes contac...

Btw. do you have an account for alpr? because you need the API key for it to work. It's not that hard to set up. i used the manual for this and it almost instantly worked (after i tweaked my zones a bit)

I mean if you're scanning products on a factory belt and products are in the same position every time you will get better results.... but a car moves more and is also affected by sunlight and other things like shadows... I sometimes get detection's of an arrow plane parked in my driving at midnight ...

You will have to keep in mind the following: Once detection has ended and possibly the alarm. You are only left with what has been previously detected (correct me if i'm wrong) a new event will be blank and the image is processed another time. So.... if your car is parked on your driveway and the ma...

I have set-up licence-plate detection and it works just good... it even passes the string to home-assistant. Then again a very specific camera mounting point needs to be used.... (like a top down view from above the door and zones properly set-up). Though my camera is mounted at an angle and on the ...

From the inside, this could work with some minor issues. Just by setting op a small zone that scans a small portion of the door... then again... it's just looking at pixels and i'm wondering what happens when the door is open (this just depends on your personal use case). Also a trigger event will h...

This is very doable but i would not rely on zoneminder looking at the door. Zoneminder can't do this on it's own. Another thing to think about is.. what does trigger the door opening/closing and do you want this? (it's a bit tricky to have one answer here as your garage door motor can be set up diff...

Nobody?

I must also add. I have tried onviv as the camera supports it but this has the same issue with either choosing for privacy zones or audio and it also has tearing in the stream at random spots (they clear again but appear elsewhere in the image and clear again there and this goes on and on).

Hi, and sorry if i made it to the wrong topic (ofc, you are free to move it elsewhere if needed). I'm a happy user of ZM for about a year. but have a small issue with privacy zones. in other words... it works great but.... For some reason i have to choose between either: Having video with privacy zo...
