Can you have different actions for different types of object detections (for a single camera)?

Estrom — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:52:57 GMT

What I want to do is have a low threshold for recording video with no notifications (all motion) but for certain types of object detection (say, "Fire" or "Person") I would like to get notifications (on the same camera, in the same mode). Is this possible? If so, any pointers on how to achieve this would be appreciated.

Are you wanting different motion detection thresholds for different objects?

Or are you just wanting to only get notifications for "Fire", "Person", etc?

No, I can live with a fixed detection level (ie, Low-Med-High). I want to unconditionally record any motion, but only receive notifications for certain detection types (such as Fire or Person). Right now if I turn on Any Motion on a camera and turn on notifications, I get swamped with too many notifications.
