Sorry, just getting my test rig setup and still learning. I have a Reolink (uggh) camera that alerts specific types of Onvif triggers to BI (RED) but the Empiretech only sends a motion A alert as shown in the pictures below.

is the BI setting

Should it specify human in the Onvif message?
I have smart motion detection enabled with human and vehicle checked.

I can post the camera setting if that would help
Thank you from a new guy.

Sadly no it won't specify what triggered it. One of the few things a Reolink is better at.

You will have to either rename IVS-2 to human or add human to the memo.

If you want to trigger for cars and human, then you need a minimum of two IVS rules - one labeled for car and the other for human.

Ah, that makes sense now. So the target filter for each rule is specific, one for car and one for person.
OK, I was planning on using the Onvif triggers for home automation if my brain doesnt melt first.
Thank you....
