It's helpful to know that video isn't sent to the server until after a recording is triggered. So smart person detection is done onboard, so the cam can decide if it should be sending info or not.
But yes, you can choose to turn of Person-Only detection to be notified of all motion.
@Worthing,
Yep! The Outdoor Camera also has custom Activity Zones.
All alerts go to your phone just the same (i.e. you get a notification that motion was detected, but you won't get a different message for each type). The setting just determines if the alert happens for a particular trigger or not.
Please correct me if I have this wrong.
So it's either Person-only or a single generic notification? There's no way that I can get notifications of a vehicle?
We currently support People Only or All Motion, so you're not able to get notifications for vehicles only. But if you have it set for all motion, a vehicle will trigger the sensor and notify you.
Thank you. That's exactly what I needed.
Unfortunately, my current camera does notify of vehicles separately and that's more effective for us. If that feature is ever added, I'd be happy to buy one to try it out.
