Hi @Bruno71 ,  
I think it’s only possible with 3rd party software ( AgentDVR or ISpy or something … )  
A nearby solution maybe works with MQTT and NodeRed.  
Live Object tracking should work inside the WebUI, I didn’t test it, but there is some reading stuff inside the Instar WIKI.  
[Maybe here ( German, should be avaiable in english )](https://wiki.instar.com/de/Frequently_Asked_Question/INSTAR_MQTT_Alarmserver_Motion_Tracking/)

Franz

thank you FSwalle.

Is Instar MQTT a new feature?  
I noticed in the WEB UI that there’s a menu for MQTT that looks like this:

 ![image](https://forum.instar.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/48b8a8537b63adeef660d58aebc552cd77ead0a7.jpeg)  
Now, should I fill out the form using the default data and the same username and password I use to access the camera?  
I’ve configured areas 1,3 with preset position n. 1 - what should I do next?..

Hi @Bruno71  
unfortunately it’s not so easy.  
You have to read much Instar WIKI stuff, sift through many YouTube Videos and maybe after this contact the Instar Support.  
Then you have to test it all in your system, and after that maybe I (We) can help you, if anything doesn’t run.  
That was the way I did it, at least without MQTT but with http API.  
My system runs now in Synology NAS with docker and NodeRed.  
Sorry, I’m sure that’s not what you want to read, but that’s the ( my )way.

My tip : Instar WIKI, then maybe with the Instar Support finding the best solution for you.

In this sense

Regards  
Franz

Hey Bruno,  
At the moment, this isn’t possible without third-party applications. However, we’re working on it. We’ve got a lot on our plate at the moment, so it’ll take a bit of time, but the plan is to have it ready in a few months.

Currently, the menu was only added to the web interface. The mobile app update will follow.
