Posted July 4, 20205 yr Curious to know if there is a way for an end user to have the ability to send video footage of a visitor using the c4 app? The ideal situation would be if someone comes up to the users house, The user would get a notification on their phone, and have the ability to push a button and the video will download into a 30 second or 60 clip, which would open up a menu where they have the option to send that clip via "text message" or "email" to anyone of their choosing. What would be the way to accomplish this and what hardware/software would be needed? If anyone has a solution please let me know!

What you're wanting to do inside C4 would most likely require a custom driver. However one of the most powerful PC based NVR software I've used is Blue Iris. You could use a C4 MGTT driver like https://www.berto.co.uk/berto-mqtt-bridge to get notifications from Blue Iris in C4. This is one of the best videos I've found for setting up Blue Iris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwoonl5JKgo&t=85s and even includes setting up mgtt notifications based off AI object detection. It is definitely a rabbit hole, but worth looking into if you can't find or build a driver that does exactly what you want. Good luck!
July 7, 20205 yr There should be other ways for Blue Iris to contact C4 - I think you can have Blue Iris hit a URL when motion is triggered so you could use that to trigger an event in C4 using the Web Events driver, but I am not sure about sending the video, unless you can do that directly from Blue Iris.
July 10, 20204 yr I use Chawmain's notifications and driver to this with still images via Pushsafer. I have not tried with clips, but might work: http://server.chowmain.software/Control4/Chowmain - Pushsafer Driver Installation Guide.pdf
