What does "Camera Activities" mean?

Please note that Camera Activities on the Remote Services website refers to the same feature as the Clip List on the mobile apps.

Please note that Camera Activities on the Total Connect website is NOT available on the mobile apps. On the mobile apps:

  • On the iOS app, tap Activity to see your videos.

  • On the Android app, tap or touch the text button ACTIVITY at the top of most screens.

ALSO NOTE that Camera Activity is different from the service's listing of all system activity, as seen below:

On the website:

In the first illustration, the Cameras page displays all instances of motion and sound detection by your cameras, as well as video clips and still image captures triggered by motion or sound detection. 

Above: Camera Activities listed on the Cameras page of the website

In the second illustration, the Activity page displays all activity, system-wide, including Arm and Disarm events, along with motion/sound detection events and clip/still recordings from your cameras.  For more information, see the FAQ What's in the Activity log? (And can I sort or filter it?)

On either the Cameras or Activity page, click the   button on the right side of the screen for these options:

  • Play video: Plays the video in a pop-up window
  • Download video: Saves the video clip to your computer
  • Hide activity: Removes the selected item from the list without deleting the video clip or snapshot itself.
