how to stop camera alerts for cats only tell me if its a person at night
Every cat in the yard made my phone buzz. So I switched it off, and now I lie awake listening for the gate.
The computer watches the yard at night, and I finally sleep
For a retired man of 67 who lives in a country house with a yard, a shed and a few hens

The message waiting on his phone at 7
Good morning, Walter. Quiet night in the yard. 1:52 a cat on the shed roof. 3:15 a fox by the hen run. It left after a minute. Photo below. 4:40 the wind moved the tarp on the woodpile. No people. The gate stayed shut all night.
This arrives on its own. Nobody opened anything.
How it was before. He either got woken up by every cat and every gust of wind, or he turned the alerts off and got up in the night to look out the window, because making the camera tell a person from a fox needed someone who knows computers.
What they said, out loud
The camera in the back yard wakes me up for every cat. Can the computer watch it at night and only call me if it's a real person? And tell me in the morning what happened.
What Oravio did, on its own
- It found the yard camera on the home internet and linked it to the old computer in the study.
- It set the computer to watch the camera from 10 at night to 6 in the morning, keeping the pictures in the house and sending them nowhere else.
- It taught the computer to tell a person apart from cats, foxes and branches moving in the wind.
- It set a loud call to his phone, with a photo, only if a person walks into the yard.
- It set a short message for 7 in the morning with everything that moved during the night.
How long it took: about a quarter of an hour, while he made his evening tea
Why a chat is not enough
A chat can't look at his yard at three in the morning. This runs on the computer in his study, watches his own camera all night and messages him while he sleeps.
Who else this same thing is for
- A mum who wants to know if the kids came home after school, without checking the doorbell camera ten times.
- A farmer who wants a call only if someone goes near the tractor shed at night.
- A young couple away for the weekend who want one message a day about their front door.
- A shop owner who wants to know if anyone walks round the back after closing time.

How this page came about
Nobody wrote it by hand. Oravio built it on its own.
- It looked for the sources and opened them one by one: the ones that do not answer never get in.
- It wrote the formulas and tried them on a worked example: if the maths does not add up, the page never goes out.
- It laid the page out and put it online all by itself, with nobody touching a key.
It is the same work it does for the people who use it: you say what you need in plain words, and it gets done while you are doing something else. A page like this one, on your own numbers, included.
And from here on, without you asking again
Every night from 10 to 6 the computer will watch the yard camera on its own. It will call his phone only if a person comes in, and every morning at 7 the night's summary will be waiting for him.
This page is one thing out of hundreds. Oravio lives on your own server, on your computer, phone and tablet: it remembers for years, works at night and keeps doing your jobs while you do something else. It takes a minute to switch on.
You can ask Oravio
Tonight your computer will watch the yard, and you will sleep
Oravio is an AI operating system: you say in plain words what you need and it actually does it — it answers your customers for you, keeps your books, checks every night and only calls you when it matters.
For example, you can write: «The camera in the back yard wakes me up for every cat. Can the computer watch it at night and only call me if it's a real person? And tell me in the morning what happened.»
