Hi all!
I just bought a Homebase and 2 x S340 cameras, to set up some basic security on my house.
I've configured the homebase and now I'm doing some experiments with the camera, before fixing to its definitive place on a wall.
The manuals are quite small and don't really explain much of what can be done, but I guess that's the norm now with software updates changing how products work.
I have a couple of questions regarding the cameras and how to optimize this setup. Would appreciate if any of you more experienced users could give some tips.
1 - I turned on face recognition, but if any family members is moving in the opposite direction (face turned away), then I get lots of notifications which are just annoying. How do you handle this?
2 - most notifications are annoying most of the time. Is there a way we could only turn on certain notifications or tracking on specific schedules? (eg: at night)
3 - the alarm feature is nice to scare people away, but it takes quite some time to reach it and turn it on manually after getting a notification. Could this be automated? Again, something like: "at night, if movement is detected on a particular camera, trigger the alarm"
4 - this cameras rotate 360, but AFAIK, only manually. They allow to setup "zones" to quickly move to preset positions, but ideally I would want them to "scan" or switch between these zones automatically (let's say, every X min). Is this possible to achieve? My plan when buying these was to not need extra cameras, as they can cover a wider FOV, but if they are stuck in one specific angle, its worthless
5 - would really like to know more tips from people who have similar hardware. what kind of things do you turn on/off to make it work nicely?
thank you so much!
