WhyPhy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Is there a way to automatically have a T3 touchscreen turn on and display the live camera view from Doorstation DS2 when the DS2 detects motion? I want the screen to come on and display video when someone approaches the front door, even if they don't press the doorbell button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cohen Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 This can be done readily, but the problem is the DS2's Motion Sensor is not IR based, it is optically based. So on a partly sunny/cloudy day, for example, there would be very frequent false positives. I was doing this a while back, and eventually stopped because it was too intrusive. I ended up installing an Axxess Industries Motion Sensor above the door. This is much more useful, with very rare false positives (a neighborhood dog most of the time!). I use this all the time, using its motion detection to display the video from my DS2 on a T3 in our Family Room, which is where we most usually hang out. I also have it set to trigger an email, with a photo from the DS2, so if we're away from home, we'll still know a package was dropped off, or somebody was at the front door.
