Driveway alerts that only fire for what matters
A driveway camera that alerts on every passing cat trains you to ignore it. NVR Bridge runs detection on each snapshot and can hold the alert back until it actually sees a person or a vehicle — sent wherever you already look.
How it works
- 1
Connect the camera
Point its existing email or FTP alerts at the address we give you. No new hardware, no ports opened.
- 2
Turn on object detection
One toggle. Each snapshot gets tagged with what's actually in it.
- 3
Filter the alert
Fire only on person or car. Everything else still lands in your timeline — it just doesn't interrupt you.
- 4
Send it where you'll see it
Phone push through your automation platform, a Slack channel, Telegram, or your own endpoint. Your choice of wording and format.
What you get
- Alerts filtered to people and vehicles, so the cat stops waking you
- Snapshot included as a link, viewable straight from the notification
- Full history on a timeline, so you can check what you missed
- Optional number plate reads on vehicles that come up the drive
- Works with any camera brand that can email or upload by FTP
- Nothing runs at home — no NVR, no mini-PC, no port forwarding
Questions
Will it wake me up for animals?
Only if you want it to. Object-detection webhooks fire on the classes you pick, so you can take person and car and leave everything else to the timeline.
How fast is the alert?
The motion alert fires as soon as the snapshot arrives, usually within seconds. Detection-filtered alerts wait for the image analysis, which takes a few seconds more.
Do I need a subscription to the camera brand's cloud?
No. We use the camera's built-in email or FTP alerts, which don't cost anything.
What if my internet drops?
The camera can't reach us, so the event isn't recorded. If you need a guaranteed record, keep a local recording as well — we're a relay, not an alarm system.
Try it with your own camera
Add a camera, point its email at the address we give you, and watch the first event land. It takes about five minutes.
