Notify for noise/people between certain hours

I have some outdoor cameras installed on my Airbnb and would like to be notified if the cameras recognize a person between 11pm - 8am in the backyard. Alternatively I would also like to get notified if the volume exceeds a certain threshold between those hours.

Is this possible at all?

    Yes, this is possible, like this:

    • Under Preferences > Schedules, create a custom schedule like this:

    • Under Preferences > Cameras > Triggers for this camera, enable both "Motion detection" and "Audio trigger".
    • Set the audio threshold to a reasonable value that will trigger if there is some noise (this varies from camera to camera).
    • For the "Actions AI triggers" setting here, enable the "Humans" option.
    • Under Preferences > Cameras > Actions you can specify an email address for you to be notified. You can also receive push notification to our SecuritySpy iOS app.
    • Close the Preferences window and save the settings.
    • Right-click on the camera's video image, and set the Actions schedule to your custom 11 PM - 8 AM schedule.

    Thank you so much! And if I set up to be notified through the iOS app it will also just notify me when a "Human" is detected? So the iOS app will respect the "action" setting I make on the Mac app?

    Thanks!

    Yes that is correct - the push notifications must be enabled in the iOS app, but it's the SecuritySpy server that decides when to send them, and this is done based on the settings under the Triggers tab, so if you have selected Humans there then you will only be notified of Humans (and audio triggers, if you have enabled this as well).

    Perfect. Thanks so much for the quick help!
