Hi all,
I'm aware how the min and max object size works in the configuration for motion detection.
Is there any ability to add custom scripting? For example, I'd like to be able to tag motion clips where the motion detected object size was on average "bigger than x%"
Basically my goal is to be able to tag large work vehicles and trucks separately from regular cars, so I can see those separately. Is this possible in blue iris? Thanks
tagging motion detection above a certain size limit?
Re: tagging motion detection above a certain size limit?
If you mean to add a text phrase to an image, then that can be done with overlays and macros. The macros can either be fixed text, or can be updated with http commands so you can even add dynamic messages from a home automation program.
Something like this:
1. Ensure overlays are enabled for the camera. Edit overlays.
2. Press "Add text/time".
3. At top of new window add %1 and look in preview window. Does it show "Macro1" ? If yes this should work, as that is the default text in that macro.
4. Save it with OK.
5. Now you can change the text in Macro1 to whatever you need.
6. Or you can alter the default text in Macro1 using http commands:
And I think this will blank that text:
That should get you started

Re: tagging motion detection above a certain size limit?
hey thanks @TimG .. where I'm more stuck on though is how I can actually write a script to determine a "very big object" vs just a normal sized object.
Re: tagging motion detection above a certain size limit?
CodeProject AI does a very good job identifying vehicles,,, car, truck, bus, motorcycle... and the like.
You could clone the camera once or twice. Then have the Master camera record everything, but have Clone1 use AI to confirm cars, and Clone2 to confirm Trucks, Bus. Clone3 to conform people. Each clone could them take a different action,
You could adjust the object size a bit smaller for cars, and slightly larger for larger for truck,bus.

Thanks @MikeBwca I'm going to look into setting up CodeProject AI
Re: tagging motion detection above a certain size limit?
Correction. Doesn't make much sense to do this. CP will confirm the different objects.
First step is to notion detect on all the objects you want to conform using CP. Then, clone and setup CP.
