Offline alert

[Physiohi123]

Is it possible to get an alert when the cameras are offline?

[manfredz]

no because the motion detector is only working when the cam is on

I mean a system alert that you have lost connection

I wud like to know my system is offline as soon as it happens.
Today someone was at my front door but i didnt get an alert because the camera was offline

The problem with sending an alert if the cam goes offline is you would be using battery power with the constant handshaking necessary between the cam and base station to determine if it has lost contact.  Since this would go on 24/7 over time that battery power used wouls add up

Well, the base station always knows if the camera is connected or not. Why not add alerting capability to base station as well?
