Alex e1171e8ff8 Add TFLite object detection to reduce false positives
Motion detection now optionally runs MobileNet V2 SSD (COCO, quantized)
on frames that trigger motion, identifying objects like people, cats, and
cars. Events without detected objects are suppressed by default. Snapshots
include bounding box annotations. New MCP tool vision_get_detections()
enables label-based queries.
