How to get notifications for specific regions/Detection areas IP8M-T2499EW

Post by fjl05 »

I have the IP8M-T2499EW-28MM camera

In the detection area setup of my camera it allows me to set 4 different regions each with its own name and sensitivity. Is it possible to set it up to send out alerts via email or the app notifications when a certain Region is set off?

An example would be the driveway camera. Region #1 is set around my driveway, so if a car or anyone passes on the street by my driveway, the camera will start to record as normal but it wont send me an email or app notification. Region #2 I have it set only within the perimeter of my actual driveway. Meaning it will only go off if someone walks into the driveway. Which also records as normal, BUT i would also like to have it send me a notification that someone is physically in my driveway. So basically I want it to record whenever any motion is detected but have it notify me ONLY when someone goes into the driveway which would be Region #2. Notify me by email or preferably by the app.

How do I accomplish this?

Note: I noticed that the app only allows use of the first Region, which is a problem in itself.

Sadly I don't know of any Amcrest cameras or system that will do that. However with a AI NVR or AI camera you can kind of setup something as you describe within the idea anyway..

Motion Detection setup for General recording and have it setup to Record to the NVR or the camera what ever one you would have, However for the same camera or same NVR you can have it setup for line crossing or some other type AI then when you setup the Push Notice you would have the option from the list of motion or other method of alert. Say Line Crossing. Then when that happens it will push to your phone and will not push for normal motion but would still record
Be Safe.

thanks but this didn't answer my specific question. Also I already have email setup to get notifications. What I need is a notification for when a specific region goes into alarm. The regions that can be changed @

Setup > Event > Video Detection > Motion Detection > Detection Area menu

You can only get notifications on one region setup in the camera's viewing radius at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and will bring this up to our developers for consideration.

Please do, to have them implement such a feature. And hopefully also implement a fix or feature for some of the problems I've mentioned in all my other posts.
