Blue Iris 6 AI integration -> analysis triggered by motion

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the users who has been using AITool with Deepstack alongside Blue Iris 5 for a long time (workflow in brief: BI Motion Control triggers on motion and saves images to a folder -> AITool tracks this folder and initiates the Deepstack analysis -> positive result -> Blue Iris camera recording is triggered by AITool)

Now I’ve looked into Blue Iris 6 and am wondering if it would be possible to use Motion Control instead of a constant time variable to determine how often a camera should be analyzed (which is very computationally intensive with ~10 cameras!).

TLDR:
Would it be possible, when motion is detected via the Blue Iris Motion Control feature, to perform an AI analysis and generate an alert with a recording?

This would save a lot of AI CPU resources because the system wouldn’t be constantly analyzing.

If its not yet possible, this would be an awesome feature request.
 
as far as I understood that feature, it scans in intervals set by the user (scan every .... not more often than ....)
Mine is set to trigger on motion detection and then pass the trigger on to AI to see if it is an object that meets the AI criteria (car, person, bicycle, etc.), this is the usual way to do this as far as I know. Eliminates alerts from things I don't care about!, the trigger still occurs but is moved to the cancelled alert list. I believe that it can be set to do interval scanning but it does not have to be set that way, I think that is a recent feature that was added, no use to me at the moment!
 
As mentioned, BI has been doing that since Deepstack was introduced to BI.

AI Tools was a tool created before BI had any type of AI other than Sentry.

Once it added Deepstack Integration to BI, it pretty much eliminated the need for AI Tools except for the few use cases that provided even more granular stuffl.

And this followed thru when it went from Deepstack to CodeProject to now Built-In AI.

The scan at intervals is something that folks will turn on if they are getting false triggers of parked cars due to say differing headlight shine on them as the car goes by.

My fields of view that I am using BI AI does not have that situation, so it only sends to AI when the camera is actually triggered.
