Telegram Messenger & Video Surveillance
One of the standout features of SmartVision is its integration with Telegram Messenger.
Telegram Messenger is a cloud-based instant messaging app that has become popular for its security features. With over 500 million active users, Telegram Messenger provides end-to-end encryption, which makes it an ideal platform for secure communication.

CCTV Events
The integration with SmartVision allows users to easily upload recordings of detected events to Telegram. One of the unique features of SmartVision is its object detector. This feature can differentiate between people and pets, making it possible to monitor an area where no human presence is expected, but pets may be present. Additionally, the software can distinguish between strangers and those known to you by uploading photos of family members to the database. This feature is particularly useful for home security.
Telegram Notifications
Surveillance events can be delivered directly to the messenger. To configure this feature, a Telegram connection panel has been added to the general system settings.
To activate it, enable the “Use Telegram for events” option, enter your phone number, and input the verification code received in Telegram. After the connection is completed, a group named SmartVision.dev is automatically created where notifications will be sent.

To prevent excessive message flow, several sending control options are available:
• Send no more than (N) notifications per minute for each camera. The default value is 2.
• Do not send event photos. This option is enabled by default to reduce the amount of transmitted data.
• Message sending timeout — 60 seconds by default. Once the timeout is reached, sending is temporarily paused.
If the detector registers a large number of triggers, the system follows the configured limit. For example, if the person detector triggers hundreds of times per minute, only the number of notifications allowed by the settings will be sent to Telegram.
Notifications are processed through a queue. Newer events from each camera receive higher priority. All cameras have equal priority, but within a single camera older events have lower priority. If more than two outdated events accumulate in the queue for one camera, they are automatically removed. Events from different cameras remain independent and are processed separately.

Camera Settings
In the Cloud tab of the camera settings, filters for event types have been added. Users can choose which detected objects should trigger notifications. For example, notifications can be sent only when a person or car is detected, while ignoring animals.
Notifications can be generated for different detection types:
person, dog, car, fire, smoke, sound, specific license plate number, specific face from the database.
As a result, SmartVision allows Telegram to be used as an additional channel for receiving surveillance system event notifications, with flexible configuration of event types and message limits.

SmartVision also has motion detection, event-triggered and time-lapse recording, remote viewing, facial recognition, and automated license plate recognition features. These advanced features provide a comprehensive solution for online security monitoring.
SmartVision and Telegram Messenger provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for video surveillance. The integration between these two platforms allows for easy access and management of surveillance footage.
