Welcome to the AI Tool Wiki!
This program analyzes motion in Blue Iris cameras in real-time using Artificial Intelligence. It notifies you if a human or an object of your choice is detected and can send alert images to Telegram.
It is based on DeepQuestAI, a free multipurpose AI that you can install on your own server (p.e. the server Blue Iris is running on).
If Blue Iris detects an alert on a camera (motion detection or external input), a still picture is stored in the input folder of the AI Software. Every image file name starts with the cameras short name (in Blue Iris), using which AI Tool associates the image with a matching camera profile (the camera profile contains a set of rules on what to detect and what to do if something was detected by this camera). Then the image is analyzed and in case a relevant object was detected, the actions configured in the camera profile are executed, p.e. triggering the camera or giving the Blue Iris alert clip a flag.
Blue Iris only creates a snapshot (that AI Tool can run AI analysis on) if the camera was triggered, so we basically have to option on how to filter out the false alerts: A) We create a invisible duplicate of the original camera in Blue Iris and only trigger the original camera if an alert in the duplicate cams was confirmed by AI Tool. (standard procedure v1.65 and below) B) Or we configure AI Tool to confirm alerts by flagging them in Blue Iris and tell Blue Iris to only present us flagged alerts.
So the principle procedure is:
- motion detection triggers a camera and a snapshot is saved into the 'Input Path'
- AI Tool associates the image with a configured camera profile and sends the image to the locally installed DeepQuestAI instance to analyze the image.
- DeepQuestAI analyzes the images and returns the results to the AI Tool
- If the image contains one of the 'relevant objects' specified in the cameras profile (in AI Tool), the actions specified for this camera are executed (flag alert in Blue Iris, send image to Telegram).
