An automation which displays a camera feed when a human is detected:

By @scstraus

- id: popup_camera_when_human_detected
  alias: Popup Camera When Human Detected
  hide_entity: true
  initial_state: 'true'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.human
    to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: browser_mod.more_info
      data:
        entity_id: camera.main
        deviceID:
          - 12345678-12345678

Displaying a popup via a script

Browser_mod will replace this with the current deviceID in the deviceID field of any service call from the frontend. That can let e.g. a script know which device called it:

scripts.yaml

test_popup:
  sequence:
    - service: browser_mod.popup
      data_template:
        deviceID: "{{ deviceID }}"
        title: Testing script
        card:
          type: entities
          entities:
            - light.bed_light

Lovelace button configuration:

type: entity-button
icon: mdi:star
tap_action:
  action: fire-dom-event
  browser_mod:
    command: call-service
    service: script.test_popup
    service_data:
      deviceID:
        - this
