Hey Beta Testers with Cam Plus, Go to the Events tab and select the Insights graph now:
Check out the cool new feature we get to test.
- “Thumbnail show” is like a timelapse showing you one thumbnail of every AI event (for that camera) in the last 24hrs and it’s awesome.
- Then click on Timeline and you get to easily see every AI event in a horizontal timeline and can move around or skip next without all the normal hassle in the events tab. It’s very convenient!!!
My main wishes for this:
- Allow us to select WHICH kind of events to show (person, pet, vehicle, package, motion, etc). I might want to be able to search for pet detections in some cases, but might only want to have the slideshow or timeline cycle through person detections
- Allow us to change the speed of both the thumbnail show AND the Timeline. Let me tell it to do everything at 4X or 8x, or go slower on the thumbnails like 1 per second or half second or whatever. On some of the views it was a little fast, on other views it was PERFECT and almost like a perfect timelapse
- Edit: Just realized we can use our thumb to move the thumbnail show at ANY speed we want, including really slow, or flinging it across the screen so it cycles at super speeds, or even play the thumbnail show in REVERSE!!! Which was really funny to watch my “baby cam” timelapse of my baby sleeping in reverse! That is actually really cool
- Allow us to look at other days besides just the last 24hrs.
Allow the us a way to link to the events a particular thumbnail came from (if it’s not too hard to do so). For example, doing this with a VDB, I might see a thumbnail that particularly interests me. I would like to stop on that thumbnail, and link to the event somewhere (either in the timeline, the events tab or the SD card…any of them would cool, or all of them). Right now I have to just look at the time and then go find that event.EDIT: IT DOES ALLOW THIS!!! I figured out how to get a thumbnail to link me to the Timeline! SO AWESOME! (you tap the thumbnail and a play icon shows up, and when you tap on that it links to the even in the Timeline). I LOVE THIS!- Allow us to ZOOM in on a thumbnail or timeline event. I can’t double tap or pinch to zoom
But I would love to be able to do so.
I really love this new feature! I already liked the normal insights, though I didn’t use it too often and wish it had a “notification” to tell me when it detected an abnormal pattern, instead of me having to “check” and see if it detected something weird or not…but these new features to go with it are really cool, especially the Thumbnail show. I love it so much.
