Events

An event is something a camera detected — motion, a person, a vehicle, a familiar face. Events carry a time range, the camera that produced them, AI classification tags and recorded media. Event calls are on InstaVision.eventServices; the realtime feed is a separate service (see Realtime Events).

Event tags by product

EventTag is the AI classification on an event. The generic tags — MOTION, PERSON, VEHICLE, ANIMAL, ALARM — apply to every camera; the rest belong to a product line:

Tag Product
DOORBELL, CALL, FACE Home Security
CRY, HIGH_TEMPERATURE, LOW_TEMPERATURE, HIGH_HUMIDITY, LOW_HUMIDITY Baby
PET Pet
BIRD Bird
WILDLIFE Trail

EventType classifies the event itself (MOTION, DOORBELL, SNAPSHOT, CALL, BIRD, PET, TRAIL, BABY, …) — see Types Reference.
