A Dashboard setup for video cameras

This is the first trial and it already works as expected!! Thanks to many contributors providing great nodes, I have just put them together in a simple flow

I will share the flow, required nodes etc very soon, asap we finished easter lunch etc etc, so later today or tomorrow

Functionality:

  • when an image is dropped in the watched folder, manually or created by Motion, it will be recognized, sent for coco ssd analyze, if a person is detected, boxes will be drawn and finally it will be sent via email
  • as additional feature, there is a mqtt in node in the flow. This allows image data to be sent via mqtt. This is how I communicate images over the network from my Motion installations on several RPi's to one common analyzing computer (to make this happen, on motion detected, a python script is started by Motion where the image is taken and forwarded over mqtt)
