Security Spy Events

Simple Node-Red Subflow focused on SecuritySpy (NVR) event stream.

HOSTNAME: localhost

Output

Output 1: connecting, connected or disconnected

Output 2: Stream of parsed events from https://bensoftware.com/securityspy/web-server-spec.html#miscDiv

All events have;

`JSON
{"time":"20240928132817","number":"0" ...}
`

Personally I've not used these values for anything. number resets after re-connection.

Heartbeat

`JSON
{"camera":"X","event":"NULL","info":""}
`

If camera is X it means heartbeat/ping/keepalive, I use this to ping uptime checker.

File Written

`JSON
{"camera":"4","event":"FILE","info":"/Volumes/Storage/Security Spy/CameraX/{date}.mov"}
`

Motion

`JSON
{"camera":"4","event":"MOTION","info":{"x":"0","y":"1538","w":"420","h":"594"}}
`

Classify
`JSON
{"camera":"4","event":"CLASSIFY","info":{"HUMAN":100,"VEHICLE":0,"ANIMAL":1}}
`

Motion End
`JSON
{"camera":"4","event":"MOTION_END","info":""}
`

Trigger

{"camera":"4","event":"TRIGGER_A","info":"128"}
`

> Personally I use TRIGGER_A in combimation with MOTION_END` to create a sensor in Home Assistant.
