Choose an option to edit:
Room: A camera can be located in a room inside your home or you can create a room for an outside location such as your veranda or garden.
Notifications: Choose when to receive a notification (at any time when you’re not at home, for example), when motion is detected or when a clip is recorded. You can also choose to allow snapshots to be taken when motion is detected.
If a camera becomes unavailable (or available), or if all the cameras in your home become unavailable and the Apple device you use to control your home has internet access, you can receive a notification. To receive the notification, in Recording Options for When Home, When Away, or both, choose Stream & Allow Recording.
Streaming & Recording: Options include Off, Detect Activity, Stream and Stream & Allow Recording.
You can create separate settings for when you’re home and when you’re away. For example, when you’re at home, you might choose to stop streaming and recording for a camera inside your home but continue to stream and record from an outdoor camera.
If you stream and allow recording, and a camera is unavailable for 90 seconds, you receive a notification.
Recording Options: Your camera can record when any motion is detected or when specific motion is detected. Choose Specific Motion to have video recording triggered by the motion of people, animals or vehicles.
Tip: Choosing a specific motion, rather than any motion, results in fewer clips (and fewer clip notifications) and less video to review. For example, choose People and your camera won’t capture the movement of leaves on a tree.
Select Activity Zones: Outline an area to include or exclude for detecting motion and receiving a notification. Click to add a corner. Click a corner again to delete it. Drag a corner to shape the area.
Below the People heading, click a person.
Click Cameras, then choose an option.
