Set the event of camera
Skywatch cameras and cloud infrastructure are designed to notify you when irregular activities happen around your camera. This may include when the camera becomes offline, detects video motion, is tempered with, or when its sensor terminal is triggered. You may configure relevant event sources and actions from the "Event Setting" section inside the camera settings page.
The "Event Interval" means the shortest interval between two valid consecutive events. When it is configured to be, say 10 minutes, and when a second event occurs within 10 minutes of the first event, this second event would be discarded by the camera or the server.
In addition, Skywatch cameras ProCam 2, ToughDome 4, and ToughCam 4 all include a free 48 hours cloud event recording (ER) service, which stores important events on the cloud hard disk and can be watched anytime and anywhere during the period.
