Alerting Mechanism for Base Station / Camera Offline

[Richard-65]

Our installation will be very remote beach house. There is a need for mains failure detection in case intruder has deliberately switched of the power. This would be a nice sofware update feature.

A very good idea, cstewart58. This functionality is critical. You get kudos from me.

I think thats a great idea of Richards even if the base station sends an email to say it has just turned back on or been reset would be great. At least you know an event has occured and can phone a neighbour

This happened to me today. Totally lost trust on this system. If i didnt happen to check the camera today i probably didnt know that it is offline and left house with false belif that my house is properly guarded.

now i probably need to keep checking the system since i have no trust that system is properly working. And feels like i am stuck with the system rather than feeling great on my decision to buy this.

Also one of my friend bought this because of my recommendation and now i feel guilty and embrassed that i recommended my friend a bad one.. 

Also notification of camera being offline is one but also it should notify me when base station goes offline due to some reason such as no internet.

otherwise how one knows the system is actually up and running without checking every seconds?

Want the same!

[Vitor7]

i would like to suggest a mail notification to be sent by email when the base station(s) is offline.

thank you

Or if a camera goes offline when the system is armed.

Great idea my Swann camera does this and it's very useful to me.

I know this has been mentioned already but you need to work on a solution to notify users when internet or base station loses communication with cameras or have cameras that store information until communication is restored.

[Maydaymalone]

Please work on a solution for alert/notification when communication is down (internet/base station).

Or onsite recording until base station comm is restored.
