And it certainly recorded clips better, including just “sound” clips (if it’s dark and can’t pick up video). I don’t remember near as many complications with that app. Then I get to work and the first time I try viewing the camera. Even recorded a couple motion clips (which usually NEVER works for more than a day after fixing everything).
When I got home from my last shift, I reset/turned off AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera and phone, then set it all back up. It is showing “This camera is offline.” It’s been doing this specifically for about a week now. Currently, within AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera, when checking the “camera status,” it says it’s online, “signed in successfully,” and “everything looks great!” However, the camera is NOT active. They’ve told me before it was likely a network issue, but our network is perfectly fine, and strong. This completely defeats the purpose of a camera, since you can’t get it back online remotely. It CONSTANTLY has connectivity issues and the camera goes offline. I’ve used AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera for a while, much longer than I should have. Especially when 90% or more of the notifications are false alarms triggered by birds or passing cars etc.
Point being, notifications are far far less important than actual video of potential offenders/offenses. Can the cops use notifications to catch a bad guy who broke in to your house? Nope! But they can use a video of the offender or crime! If the video is cut extremely short and doesn’t capture most of the criminal activity, then what good is AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera doing for security! You have to understand priorities of law, especially when you market AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera as a security monitor. For security, having a longer recording of things that may be suspect is far far more important than having a ton of notifications. Reply to developer: Notifications are great but when you get 900 notifications in 5 minutes, they become pointless.
There should be an option for the user to choose minimum recording time after motion triggers start recording or at very least, let it keep recording for 30 seconds after the last motion was detected. AlfredHomeSecurit圜amera is ok but kind of useless as it stops recording after it’s triggered by motion way way to early to be effective at any kind of surveillance.
