Hi All,
I've been a BI user for quite some time now, but up until today my setup has been pretty simple. I have a total of 6 cameras (4-Exterior, 2-Interior). The interior cameras have never been set to trigger/record as we just use them check on the pets when away from home. I also only have 2 profiles: (Day & Night). The profiles change on a schedule according to sunrise/sunset. On the day and night my exterior cameras have different motion hot spots and zones because at night we get headlights that come pretty far up our yard that trigger the camera, therefore I moved the zones farther back on the night profile.
I decided I wanted to start recording motion on my interior cameras when my and my wife's phones are not home (outside of the geofence), however I'm struggling to figure out how to do this without messing up my day and night hot spot profiles.
I thought maybe I could create a total of 4 profiles like so:
1. Day (Home)
2. Day (Away)
3. Night (Home)
4. Night (Away)
But I don't see a way to set a profile by two conditions: geofence + time of day.
For example:
If my wife and I are at work (Away + Day time); Set profile = Day (Home)
If my wife and I are away for dinner at night (Away + Night time); Set profile = Night (Away)
Am I missing something simple? How do I keep my day and night profiles for my exterior cameras working as they are, but just disable motion detection on the interior cameras when we are home?
Thanks for any help!
Question about Profiles/Geofence
Re: Question about Profiles/Geofence
Use Profiles.
- Go into BI settings, Profile tab. Change the names to reflect the profile type...
Profile 1 - change to '1, Day(Home)'.
Profile 2 - change to '2, Day(Away)'.
... and so on.
Then, in each camera, select the profile, and make the appropriate changes for that profile. Test each Profile.
After the camera profiles are setup, go into BI Settings 'Mobile Devices' tab. after adding you phones, edit the 'Enter Geofence' and 'Exit Geofence' and add the action 'Change Schedule/Profile', and set it to change to the appropriate profile.
