** New Features in this Fork **

Added a camera setting which optionally saves relevant images to a pre-configured network path. The images are given the same name as the camera and they overwrite each time a new relevant alert is processed.

This can be used to generate a static image camera in Home Assistant. For example:

1. Designate a shared folder on the Home Assistant machine for alert images
2. Set up the shared folder as a network drive on the Blue Iris host, save the credentials permanently
3. Configure the network drive in the new setting in the AI Tools UI
4. Check the box for each camera in AI Tools which should generate alert images into the network path
5. Add camera integrations for the static images in HA:

camera:
- platform: generic
  still_image_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8123/local/images/ai_alerts/Driveway Car.jpg'
  name: Driveway Car Alert
