configuration of scenarios

zorg54 — Wed, 14 Feb 2018 12:10:50 GMT

Im experimented with 4 cameras and want to tiger all others cameras to satrt recording when detecting from one off them.

F. e. when A detect motion , I want BCD to start automaticly for att list 5 minutes aven if nothing detect on them.

Same for BCD and that make a very long rule .

I wish a standard button on rules to do that

You can only record for a maximum of 2 minutes (120 seconds)

To get the recording you want, create a custom mode

In that mode make rules:

Camera A motion triggers camera A to record

Camera A motion triggers camrea B to record

A > C

A > D

B >A

B > B.... so on and so forth. You'll end up with 16 rules

Hi Steve

thanks, this is exactly what I did.

But my suggestion was if the NG could fix such an option infuture version ?

I think that if ou have 4 or 5 cameras , you will wish this

Excuse my English

Yep. Pop it in the ideas exchange section for the engineers and software people to consider. I have some nested rules where cameras trigger other cameras but I don't have a need for one camera to trigger all other cameras. I have 12 cameras

With this rule , you don t need 5s before detecting ;))
