Transcripts

[Music]

ring it's the sound of a friend or the

sound of anxiety it's the sound of

taking a

dub or the sound of taking an

L but perhaps the most striking of all

is that it can be the sound of a welcome

visitor or the sound of an unwanted

Predator this Universal sound of

attention needs to grab yours so it's

important to have a device that can do

just that grab your

attention I'm able to send video

recordings to my phone using my ring

security camera even though ring doesn't

really allow it but I went a step

further and added object detection with

frigate and gave ring the power to alert

me only if it detects specifically

people something my off-the-shelf ring

system just can't

do

now one of my previous videos I talked

about how a stranger tried to break into

my home and the biggest fail was that my

smarttech failed to alert me disgraceful

go hang the shame

curtains I know I'll post the video in

the end credits if you'd like to see it

but it's because of that failure why

I've created this video in the comments

many of you express disgust for ring

which I honestly don't find surprising

since replacing my ring would put me at

an economical disadvantage I found a way

to make the most out of it by using ring

mqtt add-on and fret I can get Fe okay

so while I was trying to put together

this uh walk through uh everything

stopped working it just broke I wasn't

able to get ring to stream to my home

assistant anymore don't know what

happened don't know why it stopped all I

know is that the batter's died I

recharged it put it back in and it just

would not work everything that I had

planned is kind of moot now so after

about 3 days of like sitting on The

Struggle Bus uh here's my new favorite

way to create video automations using

ring scripted and frig let's start with

scripted I have a sonology Nas in it I

have a virtual machine that runs home

assistant OS but last week in the midst

of my technological hunger game a home

assistant crashed because node red was

just doing the most really uh as you can

see I ran out of memory on my machine as

some of you might have seen in my shorts

I split out node red into its own Docker

container and I'll be doing the same

with scripted here I have a Docker

container running scripted I followed

the phenomenal installation instructions

on scripted websites I had a total of

zero problem setting this up in the ring

plug-in I logged in at which point I

could see all of my devices the two

important devices here are the front

door and backyard here in the settings

the ones I know for sure I need is

homekit web RTC and rebc so I'm not

going to talk about the homekit version

right now but but feel free to explore

this because it does work and I do have

the cameras here in my system via

homekit what we really want with

scripted is under streams and web RTC I

copied this rtsp rebroadcast link and

back in home assistant I used the

generic camera integration this was

required for the doorbell because the

automations don't count it as a real

live stream camera I don't think this is

required for the backyard camera since

it's a real camera but for demo purposes

I'm going to be creating a generic

camera with it with the rstp with the

rtsp link as well I did have to change

the url slightly to fit my needs and you

may need to do the same but it seems

like it's working okay now let's create

a quick automation using the camera okay

so for this automation you're going to

need the call service node um as well as

the um I think this is called a time

stamp or the inject node so with the

first call service node this is going to

be responsible for taking the cam or

getting the camera feed so you would

just go to the domain of camera service

record this is the camera entity that we

created previously that you saw and then

here this is the file name this is

basically where this stream is going to

be saved to and we can tell it how long

to save it so we're going to take 7

Seconds of that feed and save it as

snapshot. mpp4 at this location this

location can be found within your home

assistant environment but you're going

to find that within here I have mine's

under the config temp and then snapshot

as you can see here so from this call

service node you're going to have

another call service node and this one

is going to be responsible for sending

it to telegram now I'm using telegram

I'm going to show it with uh telegram

first and then I'm going to hopefully

have another one to show you how you can

do it without telegram but just using

telegram uh we have here again home

assistant we're using telegram bot for

this one real quick this telegram bot

that you see here in the domain will

won't exist for you guys if you haven't

installed the telegram bot integration

uh you can go on home assistant site and

just see the documentation for it this

is what's going to give you the ability

to send videos really easy to your

particular uh chat within your telegram

uh profile we're telling it that we're

going to send video This Is The Source

or the location where it's stored so we

this is what we already have saved and

then this is just if you have your chat

ID uh the chat ID that you have there

and then of course you can add captions

um and that's what's going to come along

with

it so the video will just show up for 7

seconds and it will appear with a

telegram you can make the automation

more elaborate by adding conditions and

triggers to dial in where and when the

videos should be stored and sent but I'm

going to leave that to you oh and by the

way if you're interested in building an

AI chatbot for yourself I have a AI

masterclass series playlist where I talk

and walk through the conceptualization

and impementation of how to do it

disclaimer though my guide is simply a

starting point because chat GPT is

pretty experimental at the time of

creating this so the apis may be

different so you may have to put in some

work to get it working since things can

change update the code accordingly if

you run into those problems if we add

frig to the system both home assistant

and our cameras will give up the ghost

so there are two things we're going to

need to do first we will be using

Google's Coral tensor processing unit to

process this stream and I'm told that

this is about a thousand times better

than our regular CPU that's powering

home assistant I expect great things

from you follow the instructions on

frig's website to install it into your

system I'm going to admit I had some

issues with this I successfully

installed this into home assistant as an

add-on but for some reason home

assistant wouldn't recognize the coral

TPU so I went with my long-term plan and

installed frig as a Docker container so

I'm going to Simply tell you the easy

stuff and hope that you don't run run

into the hard stuff all right cool let's

go on fr's website you can use the

docker compost file that they have there

and just adjust it to fit your

environment the three things that I

needed to change that you may have to

change are the devices the volumes and

the

ports you'll also need a config file

that references the cameras and the

settings that you need for them so

here's mine for example this is the mqtt

information section nothing really

special just put in your login

information for it go to RTC allows me

to transform the streams to use the FFM

peg this will publish a stream to a new

source which we can then see in the

camera section under cameras I have the

front yard which uses the rtsp stream

path that was reemitted by frig you can

read that in frig stocks these settings

in the record option will save the last

two days of footage that had a true

positive object that was not considered

stationary bottom line is for the for

the last 2 days it's going to show me

all of the moving people now this is the

important bit the detectors we have a

single USB coal device so this is what

the documentation told me to put in now

ring activates the stream on demand and

frig will demand it stays on so if your

camera is powered by a battery or solar

power it's going to die within hours

though there's not much you can do about

that something you can do is subscribe

and like this video damn that was smooth

yeah I know by subscribing and liking

not only can YouTube alert you when I

drop new content but it helps other

enthusiasts like yourself find it too

okay so let's get into the automation

something that ring sucks at is that it

doesn't let me know if a person is at

the door it just alerts me for anything

that moves it doesn't support object

recognition out of the box or at all I

think so it just triggers for everything

using frig we can now trigger

automations only when people are

detected here's a high Lev idea of what

you need to do to get fret installed

into home assistant go to fet's website

look at their docs under the section of

Integrations and home assistant

integration you're going to find this

stock just follow it pretty simple

you're going to need hacks in order to

add the integration once you have it

installed you're going to be able to

access it or add it via the Integrations

when you're in device and settings and

click on the add integration button to

search for frig once you have it you're

going to be able to just add in the URL

of where it can find your frig server if

you have it locally within home

assistant then it would be one of these

default values if you don't like in my

instance I have it set as a separate

Docker container I simply just need to

add that URL to that Docker container

here as a result you're going to have

frig installed locally right now it's

pointing to my current local server for

frig and it sees all of the devices it

sees the front yard it sees the cam

because of this you now have access to

all the sensors and entities needed to

run different automations so we can see

when motion is detected we can see the

number of objects that it detects

whether or not it's cleared or not it's

fantastic remember the first automation

that we did in node red we're going to

redo that one but this time we're going

to enhance it with frig and this time

we're also going to do it in yaml so you

can see what that other side is I'm

still going to show you how to do it in

no red though call out is that these

automations will not work unless you're

using the generic camera integration to

create the camera entities that we're

going to use to record the streams I'm

using this new one here it's just a

camera that I've placed by my window in

the front um my ring camera currently is

dead the battery's died in all of this

testing so I have this other camera here

that I'm setting up so um with that

being said process is still the same

whether you're using a ring camera or

some other camera as long as it has an

rtsp stream uh you can set this generic

camera up and as you can see here I can

see the front of the yard with it here's

what the automation looks like for the

trigger right now we're using a state

trigger whenever the state changes or in

our case for the generic camera whenever

that value changes above zero for the

person count we got this person count

from the frigate entity that I showed

you earlier when that when frigate

detects that there is at least one

person available then this is going to

fire off and you can see the same thing

here it's a little easier to read here

in my opinion for that Omni cam count

whenever we see that the state is above

zero then this is gonna fire off this is

the same as the first automation that I

showed essentially for the action

whenever we detect that there's a person

or whenever it's triggered we're going

to just record and we're going to save

that recording locally to home assistant

you can see that here where we're going

to use the camera service record we're

basically calling the generic Omni cam

same thing here we're saving saving it

to that snapshot or to that particular

saving the snapshot to this particular

location for the duration of 7 seconds

and you can see that the same is here

where we're saving the snapshot to the

same location duration 7 Seconds lastly

if you have the telegram integration or

the telegram bot integration you're

going to have this ability for the

service uh but within this service we're

basically telling the telegram bot

integration that we want to send a video

we're giving it the location of the

video that we have saved locally we're

giving it the chat ID that we want to

send it to as well as a caption and you

can see the same exists here where we're

calling the integration we're giving it

the local file location we gave it a

caption as well as we're telling it the

target which is the chat ID in the end

you're going to have something that

looks like

this with this automation I can now

enable ring to alert me at night as

there's a higher probability that if if

it goes off it will be for a legitimate

reason now if you want to send the

recording to your phone without telegram

here's how you can do it the trigger

stays exactly the same when the camera

detects that there is a person it's

going to trigger off that stays the same

for both the part that we care about is

the action all we have is just one

action and it is the notify action now I

will have to call out that you'll

probably need the Home assistant app for

your phone you're going to need it in

order for home assistant to send you

notifications using the notification

service select the phone that represents

your device and in the data section

you're going to need to give it a

message and you're also for the data

part going to have to give it an entity

ID as the key and then the actual entity

ID of the generic camera that we created

earlier when we were saving the videos

the same thing can be seen here on this

side where we have the message there's

someone in the front yard for the

message and for the data section we're

going to have here the entity ID and the

entity name for the generic camera I'm

going to just run it manually

here and on my phone I receiv received a

notification and there it is live stream

of my front yard so let's recap this

really quick you can stream video from

your ring camera using scripted you can

send the stream data to your generic

camera entity and that gets streams to

your dashboard or you can save it to a

hard drive or send it to your AI chat if

you have it it's up to you how you want

to use it as a bonus through scripted

you can also install the cameras via hom

kit which can give you access to motion

sensor data and help you to better

tailor your automations we can dial in

everything further using frig bundled

with the coral TPU and process the

stream from scripted to run machine

learning to detect if a person is

detected as opposed to the generic

motion of animals cars and shadows that

ring gives you out of the box now though

you are able to create automations based

on the number of people detected this

keeps the stream open on your device so

it rapidly drains your battery and it's

not advised by ring or other

manufacturers really so um keep that in

mind I wonder is there a way to enable

and disable frig on the

Fly
