From a security perspective not sure if I would trust home assistant with my camera credentials.
Alarm server solves this issue since camera pushed to the server rather than HA logging in with camera credentials. But I don’t want wasted bandwidth and effort of ignoring the JPEG image that get pushed. There isn’t really an option to turn that off.
I’ll end up using the sample demo app from pyhik and just add some mqtt messages to HA.
Surprised you get false alerts on line crossing. I think line crossing has min and max size restrictions so you can place a human minimum size in so that the cat won’t trigger it. This is assuming your field of view is good enough to do this. eg if field of view has objects changing in size often you might be able to use the min and max options. ie when close. Cat is same size as human that is far away.
I think I will use linkage to write image file to NAS or FTP but I don’t to be polling for files to determine an event. So isapi is better at subscribing to events.
I tried to use a photo of a car from my phone to trigger the vehicle detection. I wasnt able to trigger it lol no idea why.
