    Camera to watch over garden

    Added another layer of horror for the deer. Bought a couple LED strobe lights and plugged them into smart plugs. They are now part of the "Scare Deer" automation in Home assistant.

    Camera to watch over garden

    I ended up buying a second camera. The garden is really long and I wanted one at each end. This morning was the first time a deer came up to chow on the garden. It didn't stay long once the sprinklers kicked on. :p

    Camera to watch over garden

    My lady gardener put her metal statue of a frog in the garden. It's about the size of a small dog. The camera kept identifying it as a "person". I had to move it.

    Sadly you are stuck with only the settings in the app. And ONVIF Authentication is not in there. It's not really that big of a deal for what I'm using the camera for. The app sends you notifications of what time an alert came in. I can then go to BI under the camera timeline and see what it was.

    Camera to watch over garden

    I'm still tinkering with getting the camera to send BI it's own ONVIF trigger events. I have it set up exactly the same way I have all my Andy cams set up in BI but a "GetEvents error 00002f78" shows up in BI. It actually switches back and forth from "GetEvents OK" and "GetEvents error...

    Yes you need the Tapo app to set up the camera. Once that's done you can find the IP address and block it in your router.

    Camera to watch over garden

    I'd still like to get ONVIF triggers to work using MQTT and receiving them in Home assistant. When I check the "Get ONVIF trigger events" box and do the find/inspect, that all goes fine. I then check the "ONVIF/camera events" box under the trigger heading. When I go to configure, it shows an...

    Animal detection seems to work pretty good. Scared the hell out of this cat.

    Camera to watch over garden

    I got the new camera installed out by the garden. I'm finding out that the on board motion detection is better than what BI can give me. I have tried all different levels on the motion sliders in BI and it just won't detect motion very far away. The on board motion can detect motion almost at...

    Camera to watch over garden

    Update: Got the camara and learned a few things I didn't know. First of all it seems Tapo is kind of stingy when it comes to exposing its motion sensors......at least on this model. I tried adding it to my TP link smart home integration in Home assistant and it would only give you the switch...
