Viseron

Lots of goodies in this one!

Breaking changes

• area for motion_detection is now a percentaged based value and needs to be changed from an int to a float. This means that if you change your width and/or height, area wont be affected.

Changes and new Features

• Masks can now be configured under each cameras motion_detection block. Masks are used to limit motion detection from running in a specified area. The configuration is similar to how zones are configured, here is an example:

  Config example

  cameras:
    - name: name
      host: ip
      port: port
      path: /Streaming/Channels/101/
      motion_detection:
        area: 0.07
        mask:
          - points:
              - x: 0
                y: 0
              - x: 250
                y: 0
              - x: 250
                y: 250
              - x: 0
                y: 250
          - points:
              - x: 500
                y: 500
              - x: 1000
                y: 500
              - x: 1000
                y: 750
              - x: 300
                y: 750

  The masks are drawn on the image published over MQTT. they have an orange border with a black background with 70% opacity.

• A switch entity is now created in Home Assistant which can be used to arm/dsiarm a camera. When disarmed, the decoder stops completly so no system load will be used.

• Motion contours are now drawn on the image that is being published over MQTT. Dark purple contours are smaller than the configured area, while bright pink contours are larger than the configured area.

• New config option max_timeout under motion_detection which specifies the max number of seconds that motion alone is allowed to keep the recorder going. This is used to prevent never-ending recordings when motion detection is too sensitive

• New config option rtsp_transport under cameras. Change this if your camera doesnt support tcp.

• VA-API is now installed in the CUDA image for use with ffmpeg decoding/encoding

Fixes

• The binary sensor for motion detection is now properly set to on/off.
