Trigger After Period of Inactivity

by teapem » Mon May 19, 2014 8:58 pm

In my situation I have people home most of the day. Can Sighthound be configured to automatically trigger after a period of inactivity? Hence if family members leave then an intruder enters my home after say 20 mins, SightHound would record video and email an event. I realise family members returning will also trigger recording as well, perhaps the recording would be configured to record for 10 mins or so before resuming the period of inactivity check again.

The logic of this would be hard to draw out without getting false positives as you've mentioned. I think if you just set a camera at the door and recorded people "entering" from a door, then you would have a good chance at being alerted only when people entered your house (unless they broke a window).
