This camera has a quite narrow view angle, and a single unit is not able to cover an average room for monitoring. That's why, additionally to the Motion Detection option,
Sound Detection would be extremely useful, especially if you have a home alarm and only one camera installed. It would give a huge advantage to monitor the whole property by a single camera: you will get alerted on an initial attempt to get to your home (broken window, opened door, etc...).
It can be implemented as the following:
Sound Detection option (similar to Motion Detection option):
- Enable / Disable
- Sensitivity, % (0~100%, high sensitivity makes the motions easier to be detected.)
Additionally:
Mail > Time Schedule, below "Motion Detection" block to place a new "Sound Detection" block with the following options:
- E-mail the following text immediately (80 characters max): [Box to type your message]
- E-mail the text above attached with sound file:
Sound duration after Sound Detection was triggered on (1 sec, 2 sec).
As an option, it would be nice to have an interactive icon to turn on/off Motion Detection and separately Sound Detection in a iOS mydlink+ and/or mydink Lite programs (and similar programs under Android platform): next to the Snapshot button, two separate buttons. Motion Detection button may look like a pedestrian pictogram. It becomes blue, when you click the button to turn Motion Detection On. Sound Detection button may look like sound waves limited by a triangular shape or something like

If Status for E-mail Test for the camera is not "Test succeeded", both pictogram are either semi-hidden or red line crossed.
