Next steps
After the first composition, camera, and simple pipeline work, improve gradually.
Improve the composition
- Refine scale using a known distance.
- Rename areas so events and notifications are easy to understand.
- Add missing walls only where they help orientation.
- Replace rough tracing images if you find a better reference.
- Add lightweight 3D models only where they improve recognition.
Add cameras carefully
- Add one camera at a time.
- Validate snapshot or stream access before creating pipelines.
- Place each camera in the composition.
- Review which areas it sees.
- Avoid enabling many high-frequency flows at once.
Improve pipelines later
Once a simple pipeline works, you can explore:
- better area filters;
- object detection;
- tracking;
- stored images and retention;
- Home Assistant notifications;
- processing servers;
- GPU acceleration on compatible hosts.
Do not add all of this at once. Each extra step makes troubleshooting harder.
Keep safety boundaries
Toposync is alpha software. Keep a manual fallback for cameras, notifications, gates, locks, lights, alarms, and automations.
Use Toposync to learn, visualize, and test workflows before depending on them.
