Feature Request: Send email/notifications when....

a video exceeds a certain amount of recording time. Let's say on a windy day, sometimes a long video file gets recorded. Would like SS severt to notifry somehow that a video file has recorded for more than so and so time. That way we can take action

  • Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure how universally useful such a feature would be. Instead, it would be better to try to tweak your settings to prevent this from happening in the first place - the primary way to do this is to enable the AI object detection, which can screen out most false-positives. The other way is to mask off areas of the image that have frequently-moving items like swaying tree branches and so on. More information can be found in our manual at Achieving Effective Motion Detection. If you want some more specific advice please feel free to email us and include a (short) example false-capture movie, along with screenshots of your current trigger and motion detection settings.
