On Guard Security Assistant Version 1.5.2.2

This project uses Blue Iris or any IP/network camera capable of producing .jpg still images as a security camera image source. It uses DeepStack as an AI to intelligently identify objects. It allows the user to monitor as many cameras as desired. It allows the user to visually create multiple areas that are of security interest, including the types of objects that are of interest in each area. It optionally triggers recording via Blue Iris and/or sends notification emails to the user. It supports notification via MQTT with user defined (or predefined) topics and payloads.

Note that while On Guard can be used with almost any IP/network camera cameras without Blue Iris, some functionality will be lost. For instance, you will not be able to use the pan/tilt/zoom or the Snapshot and Continuous video features. There are too many variations in the camera command layout between manufacturers and models.

NOTE: Due to changes in the stored data, user camera and area definitions from all prior versions are no longer compatible with this version. You must enter the camera data again, and you must re-define your areas.

Changes in this release:
The user interface and engine for recognizing DeepStack objects has changed. You can now recognize/check for any object DeepStack recognizes. In addition, there are two recognition groups. One is for “* Any Vehicle” and one is for “* Any Mammal”. Thus, you can recognize any vehicle type and any mammal with just two entries.

The storage of all user changeable settings is now in the Windows Registry. This will allow for easier upgrades in future versions. For the most part you should (in the future) not need to re-define your settings.

You can now optionally notify Blue Iris that you want pictures “Confirmed” and/or “Flagged”.

You can now add a delay before any URL/Http notification.

This release involves some fairly major changes internally so it is being marked as a "pre-release". Please report any bugs!

The "Release" will now include only the setup executable and manual. If you want the source code please download that separately.
