So if ANPR wasn't enough for you maybe our new face recognition driver will wow you!
This driver makes use of Microsoft's Face API and allows you to, via a web interface, add the name of people and add faces to those names. The driver will then work similarly to our ANPR driver and once a programming action is triggered (in C4 programming) we will capture the image from any URL or IP Camera (supporting Basic & Digest authentication) and then try and identify a person in it.
If a face is identified then either the Known Face Detected event will be fired which will allow you to make use of the Person Name and Confidence Level (0-100) variables to program based on who was detected. If the face identified is unknown the Unknown Face Detected event will be fired and allow you to program based of that scenario.
The driver also includes the ability use an image in the push notification. The image available will be the image when there was last an identified face. This lets you, for example, have a push notification sent to you with the image taken when there is an unknown person detected.

The Microsoft Face API provides 30,000 free requests per month. Each identification takes between 1 and 3 requests. Requests are also used when adding people and their faces. Generally, the 30,000 is enough for most installs if the trigger for detecting faces is reasonable – i.e. whenever motion is detected may not be reasonable, but when a line is crossed (Hikvision cameras or active beam sensor) would be a better use of the limit.
The driver is available on BlackWire Designs here: https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-face-recognition/

Makes sense and good thinking with the beam sensor, you can get them for pretty cheap and you could even use the magnetic pressure sensor etc from 2N for the DS2 (if C4 didn’t insist on resetting your bloody settings all the time it syncs).

Would have to figure out how that would really work in my scenario but I am sure that is not an issue.

New driver time!
This one lets you input any URL and capture the image it outputs. That image is then searched for license plates and the license plate is stored in a variable and an event is fired in Control4 programming!
You can use any URL. The driver supports Basic AND Digest Authentication.
You can use the driver to automatically open your gate, for example, when a specific number plate comes up to it. You can also use the image taken and used by the driver as part of a Control4 Push Notification!
The driver stores the license plate and the confidence (0-100) as variables. This means you can program based of the license plate! For example, if the number plate is not in your programming list then announce it over the speakers using our text to speech driver!

The driver makes use of the OpenALPR API. This provides 1000 free requests a month which if used wisely is more than enough for most installs. Support has also been added for PlateRecognizer The documentation contains everything you need to get started.
The driver is available at https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/security-systems/control4-ip-camera-anpr/

And released!

You can get the driver now! It supports Basic & Digest authentication. The odds are, if you have a camera on Control4 then it will work with this driver!
For any support or help PM me

Support for this was added with today's V4

I was able to identify a case which could be causing the issue you faced with it freezing the checks for weather.
I've just released V9 which fixes a bug where if driver fails to fetch weather due to no internet connection it won't check again until the weather is manually fetched from Composer.
Auto update should kick in within 72 hours and everyone should be good to go!

if you are using my Reolink driver and would like to beta test a driver update that allows notifications with images, please let me know

And with smaller font size or you will run out of disk space...

Video of the new features / UI:
The Outlook version will be released tomorrow. The Google one will be updated as soon as Google complete the verification required for the addition of creating events.

Hi...
I've been working on adding the ability to create events from the driver.

And I'm hoping to find a few people to help beta test it. Ideally you already have the driver installed and purchased from BWD because I want to make sure that the "upgrade path" makes sense to users - you have to re-authorize with Google due to new permissions being required. However, people who don't already have it installed or purchased are welcome to try it as well but you'll probably need to get your dealer involved to get the trial license sorted.
If you're interested then please PM me your email address and I can provide you with the driver or we can sort something out for me to update it on your system.

I've made a couple of videos showcasing the text to speech parts of the driver:
 
 
There is also the functionality to record voice messages (up to 30 seconds) so be sure to take a look at the driver demo to get a feel of it! 20% off the driver and all our other drivers until 9th December so hurry!
