Event vs notifications

JamoJim — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 06:22:28 GMT

I have events set to only people, and the camera only records those events, but get notifications for everything. Is there a way to only get notifications for those events that are selected?

Actually you are just setting up a filter so the feed doesn't show up other event types. If you change that filter, you'll fid that the camera is actually recording everything.

As far as notifications go, you can block notifications for everything but people. Look here for instructions:

Thanks mate! Awesome. The app isn’t too bad but it lacks a bit of intuitiveness. But I suppose that’s the same for all apps
