It would be great if an event seen on one camera could be used to trigger other cameras to record.

Hi,
Regarding your feature request, could you please provide a detailed usage scenario and explain why you want the other cameras to record when one camera detects events?
Best Regards

  @Solla-topee I have a D235v1 doorbell with person detection on, additionally a TC65 cam monitoring my driveway also with person detection.  The area monitored by both cuts off at the edge of the property ... I dont want to record passers by, there are too many activations and I dont want to record little kids going to school etc.

 

The doorbell often fails to record people - like the postman, amazon drivers, etc - when the TC65 sees them.  So if one camera could trigger others to record it would be useful.

I have a D235 v1 doorbell that often fails to trigger on people walking towards it. The area is covered by a TC65 camera that does record but is further away. If the TC65 could trigger the D235 & vis-versa to record it would be useful.

 

Other people might find this useful in other instances where different cameras have overlapping fields of view (maybe even neighbours both watching front driveways, cameras on different networks)
