Snapshots to FTP or Local Disk instead of Clips

[Tony W. Robinson]

Essentially, I'd like the same options we have available for exporting clips to be available for exporting just snapshots.

Long story short, I have snapshots sent to me throughout the day based upon rules, certain events firing, etc. And it's a tedious task to have to open the e-mails one at a time to review those snapshots.

I use the snapshots as sort of a quick-review index of activities I've picked up over the course of the day. So I'd like to have them all in a single folder (on my computer or on my FTP site) where I can quickly scroll through them.

I've got Sighthound set to pick up the maximum amount of activity, so I do get a lot of false positives, but I'd rather have too much data captured than too little. However, reviewing clips to find the stuff I'm most interested in is very time-consuming. The snapshots help me quickly narrow in on points of interest. But the one-at-a-time nature of looking at attachments to e-mails is not working for me.

If I can get snapshots into a folder or to an FTP site, I can get them to my phone very easily. And from there, I can quickly determine what clips I need to review.

I think all the code to do this already exists in the application. It's just a matter of allowing us to use it a little differently. Something like, "When something happens, what do you want, and where do you want it?" -- the what do you want choices should be clips OR snapshots, and the where you want it choices should be a local folder, an FTP site, an e-mail account, Twitter, whatever.

Direct Dropbox integration might be nice as well, but I don't really want to ask for anything new as much as a little more flexibility with the capabilities already built into the application.

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the feature requests. We are constantly working on ways to improve the application and we will take your requests into consideration.

If you'd like help configuring your rule to be more accurate I'd be happy to help. An explanation of what you want to capture, a screenshot of the scene and a screenshot of a false positive should be enough to give some suggestions.

Regards,
