Send camera alerts anywhere

Your cameras can email and little else. NVR Bridge takes that email, works out what's actually in the frame, and sends it on as something useful — a Slack message, an MQTT publish, an email to whoever should know, or an HTTP request to your own code. A trigger says what matters; a notification says where it goes, and any trigger can feed as many as you like.

Where alerts can go

Slack

Alerts land in the channel as a message with the picture already in it — the camera, the time, what was detected and a link to the event.

Approve the app for your workspace, pick a channel. Two clicks, no tokens to paste.

Email

To you, or to anyone who should know — a neighbour, a colleague, the person who actually watches the gate. Filtered, readable, with the snapshot.

Add the address. They confirm it from a link, and can unsubscribe from any message.

MQTT

Publish to your own broker — the language Home Assistant, Node-RED and openHAB already speak. Choose the topic, the QoS and the retain flag.

Host, port and credentials. If the broker never leaves your LAN, we'll reach it over an SSH tunnel.

Home Assistant

Two ways in: publish to the Mosquitto add-on, or fire a webhook automation trigger. The snapshot arrives as a URL you can drop into a notification.

Point MQTT at the add-on, or paste a webhook trigger URL. No custom component.

Webhooks

An HTTP request to anything at all: any method, your own headers, and a body you template with placeholders including per-channel image and GIF links.

Paste a URL, shape the body, hit Test. Every delivery is logged with its result.

The same three steps every time

1
Point the camera at an address we give you
Every camera gets its own private inbound address. Turn on the camera's existing email or FTP alerts and set the recipient to it. No firmware changes, no NVR, no port forwarding, nothing running at home.
2
Say what actually matters
A trigger is the filter: this camera, a person rather than a cat, one particular number plate. Detection runs on the snapshot after it's stored, so it never holds up the event itself.
3
Attach the notifications it should reach
Slack, email, MQTT, a webhook — as many as you want on the one trigger. Hit Test to see the shape before a real event arrives, then watch every delivery get logged with its result.

Typically about five minutes, all of it in a browser.
