[Feature Request] Send HTTP/S request on motion detection

[Slyke]

Right now the only external event that can be triggered by the camera when motion detection has been triggered is an email.

Would it be possible to have it send either a GET or POST request to a HTTP/S endpoint? Could even upload the image to another end point when the event ends. For bonus, a MQTT event would also be useful.

Would rather use the cameras to trigger this, instead of relying on MotionEye.

For motion detect events, Amcrest cameras typically provide Push Notifications to Amcrest View Pro app.

For MQTT, see

@jack7 it's not push notifications I want, it's to trigger a NodeRed flow, but could be used for a lot of other things. I'm currently relying on MotionEye to do this, but wanted to take out the middleman, so to speak.

That github you liked though is very useful. I have a bunch of Raspberry Pis and some old machines running Kubernetes. Can put this into the cluster. I also followed the dependencies that that github used and found a github for Amcrest cameras API: https://github.com/tchellomello/python-amcrest

While a little more work, I think that API will be very useful.
