Notifications Info

[tbhholland]

Hi, I was looking at getting the Pro 5 for in shop security.  My questions:  will the app (using the subscription) notify me of a break-in?  I would have the camera facing the door so imagine that it would pick up the door movement and send a notification.  What is the time lag between incident and notification?  After reading through a lot of these posts, some are saying that there's no sound to the notification (or maybe it wasn't working). I appreciate any info.  Thanks

If the camera is armed, then you would get a notification if someone enters via the door (assuming they were within the 20-25 foot distance for motion detection).

The lag varies - I don't really try to track it, but when I drive home, the cameras in the driveway generally do alert me before I get out of the car in the garage.

Whether the notification includes sound depends on your phone settings.
