Possible to export logs later, like Papertrails?

Or use papertrail to log license plate events via a flow.

The app seems to work fine judging by the logs.

1. Test the flows. You can try your flows with the built-in test image.

2. Check the image quality from your camera. You can send the image to your facebook messenger or signal messenger using this app: [CallMeBot App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.gruijter.callmebot/CallMeBot/)

3. Try removing the NO region in the app settings.

I think the reaction of the camera was to slow? And it’s dark, I will try it tomorrow when it’s more daylight. And thank you for your respond Gruijter😊 I’m using netatmo precense. I will download the image app and send it to my messenger and see.

For anyone looking for the snapshot url of their camera, there is a large database with almost all brands here: [Connecting to IP Cameras](https://www.ispyconnect.com/cameras)

If I am correct the trigger from netatmo gives you one image and that image is still the same after 1 2 or 3 seconds. It doesn’t get a new one.

I did not find a way to get new images from homey with this NetAtmo cam.

Maybe if the homey could or license plate recognizer handle stream not just image is that possible?

Not possible unfortunately. Homey and the license plate app work with snapshots. Any camera from the database I mentioned should work. Also camera’s that have a Homey app with snapshot functionality work. Try an ONVIF compatible camera. They have an open interface and there is a very good Homey app from @Adrian_Rockall
