snapshot

the snapshot in the creator of rules.

I'm also wondering, to where snapshot images should go? If i have a camera rule with "snapshot".

Yes I'd like to know the answer to this one! I have this rule (pic attached) and the snapshot function does work for me from within the camera device section. But the rule/puzzle piece does not appear to do anything?

Now, when I created new camera with default port 80, snapshots seems to go to ftp folder, and are available as timed shots. But in rules creator, the snapshot action was not available for new cam, until I first chosed older cam to rule target, and then select "snapshot" action. After that, in same rule, the newer cam allowed choose "snapshot" also.

Hi guys,

Here is how it works regarding snapshots with Zipabox. While creating rules if you want to trigger snapshot function then just follow these 3 steps:

• add "Action" puzzle under Rule creator->Blocks->Action to your rule,
• drag camera puzzle from Rule Creator->Devices->Cameras and drop it into action puzzle,
• choose snapshot under "select action" drop-down menu.

All snapshots are stored on Zipato FTP servers and you can do with them multiple things. For example one of the things you can do with the image uploaded on FTP server is send it to mail:

• add "Send message" Action Block under Rule Creator,
• select "insert attachment" and select camera.

This command will send last image stored on FTP server. If you repeat this puzzle 4 times then you will get last 4 images from FTP server. This information should get you started and if you see how we can improve or add something, let us know.

Best regards,

Zipato Team
