There are several reasons why you may prefer to not record 24/7, typically
To respect the privacy of your employees, neighbors, or family members
The upload speed of your internet connection is not fast enough to cover continuous recording from all the cameras you want to record
Your total data transfer is limited, or you are even paying for a data transfer, e.g., your site has a cellular connection
The logical consequence of event recording is that it's easy to navigate through the recorded video (yet, that's available on continuous recording as well).
How to activate event recording
1️⃣Send events to Angelcams
You can do it via e-mail, IFTTT, API, or webhook. Here is how.
Note:
When using events as recording triggers, it can take some time to actually start recording. Please expect a short delay and always test your given configuration to ensure it meets your requirements.
