remote access has been set up. is the user name/password the one for the email account? sending the notification. I am using the outgoing as also the incoming on the phone. It would be best to get a single frame/photo sent of the rule violation? Anyway I can get it.
I started out i got the alerts now I don't but I had to register again because I switched to a faster computer in the house. Maybe that's why?
I have ssd drives on the way because I feel like the constant driver running will burn them up. so I have designation file saving in other locations rather than what the initial setup gave me.
Now I alarms/alerts are not getting sent nor saved in the alerts file .. I do see the temperary file is loading up and watching them I should be getting alerts
rules to stop false alerts have been 3 sec and size of object/person/any is at least 40 pix
give me start all over instructions I seem to be going in circles
I did have to re-register to even send this topic out

Re: notification of alarms to phone
I should of said alerts not alarms. the android app gave me a notice but the video was in app under clip. I got nothing under alert. I have moved the storage of videos and will again. I don't see were the app is smart enough to know were to go for a alert.
help get me connected to the alerts ... the problem with security alarms is the false alarms/alerts

Hello,
Are you still having issues with this? Are you saying you get an alert on your phone but when you go to the alert section, you do not see any videos? Whenever you get an alert, you should see those videos in the Alert section. If you are not, can you please click Help > Report a Problem from Sighthound Video? This will send us your logs which will help us investigate further.
We will be standing by for those logs, thank you!
Regards,
-Kevin

Re: notification of alarms to phone
Kbond, You have a great program, I have read over and over, and try things and get it. takes longer maybe? hes what really made the program shine. For the benefit of other, pay attention: when trying to eliminate false alerts here is how.
did you know? that when your on search looking at clips that the program goes through all of them for that day/camera and based on rule/rules it then labels them and creates a list. Based on present rules, notice the video clips with no label are the alerts.
with that being true you can change a rule start search again and see the results of what the rule change will do.
this is all you need to know about fine tuning the alerts to be just what you want. Each camera will have custom rules.
I ended up using cross the line rule more than once, maybe 3 time with 3 different rules for same camera. It takes time to eliminate false alerts. there are so many ways the false alerts happen, but with this method you will know what to do.
