Notification Control with Reolink Cameras

Notification Control with Reolink Cameras

Have multiple Reolink cameras and have notification control for home and away using zones. Have other automations to turn on/off notification based on time of day and other triggers. Our front cameras are generally always action. I want to be able to go out front to work in the yard without getting notification. Possible solutions:-

1. Boolean switch on a dashboard. But have to remember to turn it on and off. Could add reminder notifications but that is really not automation!
2. Use Frigate or some camera recognition software to identify me specifically from anyone else. Do not have Frigate setup and seems complex and potentially unreliable.
3. Use an outdoor BLE tracker for the front yard via my smart watch.

Anyone solve this challenge or alternative working suggestions?

You seem to be referring to face recognition here which won’t be built in to Frigate until 0.16 (currently under development)
