Hi Marc

The camera advanced settings are set OK, the rule Homey Motion Detection for ‘name of camera’ indeed did not install automatically. The Home Mode did install well.

I can make my own webhooks, but how do I install the default ones?

Please make sure that the user belongs to the administrator group in your Synology.

When you disable the motion detection setting for your camera in Homey (save it) and then Enable it again (and save the settings) the rule should be automatically installed on your Surveillance Station.

3.0.1 is live!

**Changelog**

- Credentials moved to Surveillance Station with option to save credentials for auto reconnect. Please note that a Surveillance Station is required as device to add before you can add camera’s.

Thanks for testing.

In the next release I will add the option to edit the motion detection timeout setting for a camera and enable/disable a camera.

I will put PTZ on the roadmap. I don’t have a PTZ cam so it would be nice if you could test this before the release is published.

Hi,

Thanks for the APP I was already using it for a year now without any issues.  
Now you did an update and it isn’t working anymore. 2 cameras are working other 2 not getting the message “invalid\_content\_type”. These 4 cameras are seperated on 2 synology stations.  
Or is it possible to install the old version again?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

I don’t think it is possible to install an old version, Homey doesn’t support that.

With this version you need to have the Surveillance Station added as devices and you can connect your camera’s to the Surveillance Station it is connected to (go to the settings of the camera in Homey and click on ‘Maintenance’ and ‘Repair’ to select the right Surveillance Station. Please let me know if that works for you.

Hi @JeeHaa , you can test the alert timeout setting with the new test version 3.1.0 if you like.

Hi Mark, Disable and Enable works !! super thx  
repairing my indoor cam resulted in a black screen in my mobile so if I now restart the phone app and go to devices it will give a black screen, I do not know if that is related to the app, but tested it with my outdoor cam and that works flawless…  
_update 1_  
so was planning to restart the app, but that also results in a black phone screen, so I will reinstall the app and try see if that solves it  
_update 2_  
yes reinstalling the app and only solved it… so I will not try to select the camera, and try to repair that as that gives a black screen… all cams working now and Disable and Enable works also !!  
great job Sir

Since the last update Homey can’t connect to the Surveillance Station anymore. No error message, no time out, just the turning circle. I already did reset the Homey and the DS but no changes.

With the standard DS apps the connection works fine. I’m using app version 3.0.1 and Homey version 5.0.0

Hello there,

I just installed the app (version 2) and had run the other version before (the one with synology in front off the name)  
In the old version I had a snapshot from every cam when I opened the cam.  
Now I have 2 cams wich give a snapshot and 4 cams who don’t (no tab for snapshot also)

Is there a solution for this? (Or did I do something stupid…)
