Different Alert Actions Based on Profile

[deadeye]

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a camera scheduled to record all the time, but only send alerts at certain times? I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong, but looking at the schedule under the camera settings, it looks like it's only for recording times?

For example, is it possible to record all the time, but only send push alerts between certain hours of the day?

Thanks.

Yes.

1. Choose a profile for the alert 'no push'. Let's say for example, Profile 2. Rename that profile to '2, No Push' (In BI settings Profiles' tab..
2. In the cameras you do not want to send push alerts, choose profile 2, and configure.
3. For all other cameras, select 'Profile 2', then check 'Sync with Profile 1' in the Trigger Record, and, Alerts, tabs.

You have 2 options to change to profile 2...
- Manually change to profile 2.
- Schedule the hours to use profile 2.

To schedule hours to use Profile 2....
1. Open BI Settings.
2. Open the 'Schedule' tab.
3. Click 'Enable', set a preset name.
4. Select the days.
5. Select 'Profile 2', then drag through the days/hours to set the hours you want BI to automatically change to profile 2.
6. Save and backup your BI Settings.

It is possible to override the Default schedule in a cameras Schedule tab. If you have a camera set to override the default schedule, you'll need to either uncheck that options, or, duplicate it in the cameras schedule.

Yep, that did it for me! Thank you!
I just find the profiles/schedules and how they work with the recording and alerts so confusing (unintuitive maybe?).
Thanks for the easy to follow tips!
