Wich camera model are you referring to?
Even without cloud services some cameras have human detection AI, like the ones I have.

Ohh not aware of this. I have the IPC-C26E-V2. There is tab called AI - detection under “Cloud services” but this is not available.

That is the one named looc right?
This one is working super reliable with “digital input” for motion alarm, of course it can’t be used for face recognition, i imagine.

Yes it is de LOOC trigger for motion is super responsive.
What I miss in the “When” card in a flow is update the “snapshot” i can only update the “motions snapshot” When using the Duaha app that sees also the camera i have many more option like “make a snapshot”

Any reason why you want to update the snapshot rather than the motion snapshot?

Unfortunately, I don’t understand the card names for the other app but is there something else that it can do that you would like in this app?

Some things might not be possible via ONVIF as the Duaha app is using the camera API.

If I can get the any information from the camera about faces then I could add them in to the app.
Looking at the ONVIF spec the event should also contain an ID which relates to the face so I could add a capability to show the name via a lookup and trigger a flow with the name or ID as a parameter.
So maybe it could be used for face recognition.

There is a difference between the actual snapshot and a snapshot with last movement. I can choose the snapshot and movement snapshot in the logic card. Maybe redundant
 dont bother with the zoom or position. Day Night profile would be a nice to have

I don’t know if it’s possible cause the camera as built in human detection, but face detection is only available trough cloud service, so i can not register any face in the imou app without that cloud service.
Still if you think it’s possible tell me what you need I’ll try to provide as much info as i can.

I have ordered one of these cameras so I can see what it’s capable of.
Not sure when it will arrive as it’s not in stock at the moment but its a good price so willing to wait.

Hello,

I want to add 2 outdoor cameras in my home automation, on the other hand I am really lost on what to choose.
Apparently for Homey apart from the netatmo there is not much choice of native.
I’ve read that ONVIF cameras work fine, but what make and model.
I have a budget of 70 € max per camera.
If you have any feedback that’s cool.

Imou Looc are working great with this app, if they fit your needs, you can rest assured they are fully Working with this app. By “fully” i mean snapshot’s and motion/tamper alarms.

They are at around 40€ here.

Thank you very much for your reply. But I need to have more than 20m of detection. I don’t think the loop captures so far
Is the new bullet is good?

Sorry for my English

Yes, the new bullet is good and also working great with this app.
But for 20+ meters of detection i can’t confirm that cause i never tested it that far.
And for 20+ meters better get a higher resolution camera.

Hello and thank you for your feedback RICARDO.
There are maybe other brands?

There are so many brands but it’s difficult to know the level of ONVIF support they have.
I use H.View, HikVision and Reolink but I don’t think they fit your criteria.
The HikVision camera has the best features but it is above the price range you set.
I think the Reolink RLC-410 might be the closest that I have to your requirements.

Many thanks Adrian for the REOLINK RLC410.
What do you think about the REOLINK RLC410W?

It works OK. I have it in my back garden. It does get some false triggers form the movement of objects on windy days. It does have basic zones to exclude areas from motion detection.
The app is very responsive and connects quickly when I want to look a live video.

In fact it’s the same except that this one has wifi and 4mp

Ah, yes, I missed the W, both in your post and from my camera model :slight_smile:
I do indeed have the RLC-410W and use it over WiFi.
