Ring my phone like Skype/Google Voice?
I imagine this has been requested before but I didn't see anything pop up in the search results.
Would it be possible, when motion is detected, for Security Spy iOS to ring my phone repeatedly with a notification, like a phone call, and then if I "answer" the notification, take me straight into the app, to the camera that detected motion, with audio send enabled, so I can immediately communicate with the person who triggered the motion?
Taking it one step further, if I didn't answer the notification, Security Spy would play a pre-configured voice message through the camera?
That would be like...totally cool.

Is there any reason why you think the existing notifications are inadequate? They will pop up on your iOS device immediately, and tapping on them takes you directly to the live video in our app. You can read more about the notification features here: SecuritySpy iOS app - Notifications.
As for turning on sending audio by default, I'm not so sure this is a good idea. But perhaps we can make the option easier/quicker to engage than it currently is (i.e. perhaps requiring one tap rather than the two that it currently requires).
I too find the notification sounds too discreet!
I found a script that launches Facetime and co-stores the desired number, but you have to press the button called ... which is not possible.
do shell script "open facetime-audio://" & quoted form of phone_num
tell application "System Events"
repeat until (button "Call" of window 1 of application process "FaceTime" exists)
delay 1
end repeat
click button "Call" of window 1 of application process "FaceTime"
end tell
Ben,
I have a slow walking thief who has been visiting me for a year. He checks all the car doors. He must be hitting jackpot with open car doors overnight in the area and that’s why he comes back. I do sleep very late but his working hours are very late and he doesn’t show up for many days and then just appears one day at 3:38am like yesterday. I would like to meet him talk to him and possibly help him find a real job.
Please can you enable the notification sounds as the standard short notification doesn’t wake me up and maybe the others might stand a better chance of doing the job.
Thank you
Hi @abid thanks for the feedback - we are planning to offer a choice of notification sounds in a future update, though I can't promise when this will happen.
Thank you very much
It’s 2023. The future is here! 😎
You can run a script that does a whole bunch of things instead of just playing a single notification sound.
