#Camera Card should get a red border and play a sound, when person detected.

Hi, I want my Advanced Camera Card to get a red border and play a sound when it detects a person. I use a RLC-520A by Reolink and Advanced Camera Card from HACS. And I do have card mod installed as well.

i don't think you can play a sound through the dashboard like that unless you have a specific custom card i don't know about - you would need to make an automation to play the sound

For the border color, I figured this request would just require some simple card_mod but I could not figure out how to get it to work. It is a lot more complex than manipulating standard ha-card elements. As an alternative, I kinda got it to work by embedding the camera card inside a custom:button-card.

type: custom:button-card
styles:
  card:
    - outline: >-
        [[[ if (states['input_boolean.tester'].state == 'on') return '5px solid
        red' ]]]
    - padding: 0px
custom_fields:
  cam:
    card:
      type: custom:frigate-card
      cameras:
        - camera_entity: camera.demo_camera
```I'm still using the Frigate Card which is the predecessor to the Advanced Camera Card. Replace the input_boolean that I used with your person detected entity. This should work well with one camera but I don't know how well it will work with multiple cameras. You may have to apply some extra styling to get it to look the way you want. Also, I went with using `outline` instead of `border` because border messed with the size of the camera feed when active.

The sound, more than likely, would have to come from an automation. Not sure if HA can do it by itself. It might need some help from browser_mod.
