We are excited to announce a brand-new feature for TimelapseRobot that provides automatic alerts if your cameras stop working: Email Notifications. This feature allows you to automatically monitor your timelapse cameras for any issues, ensuring that you are alerted immediately when something goes wrong. With Email Notifications, you can have peace of mind knowing your cameras are being actively monitored, and any issues will be brought to your attention right away. Read on to learn how these alerts can help you maintain consistent timelapse footage and protect your valuable work.
Why Automatic Email Alerts Matter
For those managing long-term timelapse projects, ensuring your cameras are functioning reliably is crucial. Whether you're documenting construction progress, capturing stunning natural scenes, or monitoring creative projects, any disruption in your camera's operation can mean lost footage and missed moments. The Email Notifications feature in TimelapseRobot is designed to give you that peace of mind by automatically alerting you when there's an issue, helping you address problems quickly and minimize downtime.
Key Features of Email Notifications
With our new Email Notifications feature, you can set up alerts for several important scenarios. Here are the four types of automated email alerts you can enable, each designed to ensure your cameras are always working as expected and provide you with peace of mind:
24h Upload Check
The 24h Upload Check keeps you informed by tracking the number of images uploaded in the last 24 hours. If the uploads fall below your specified threshold, you receive an instant alert. This feature ensures your camera is capturing as expected and prevents unexpected gaps in your timelapse, helping you maintain continuity without manual checks.
Image of the Day
The Image of the Day feature allows you to receive a daily snapshot directly in your inbox at a set time each day. This means you can quickly and conveniently verify that your timelapse camera is capturing clear images, without the need to log into the platform. You can easily check if everything looks good (e.g., no spiderwebs or obstructions) right from your email inbox, providing added convenience and peace of mind.
Battery Warnlevel (Smartphone Only)
For those using smartphones as timelapse cameras, keeping an eye on battery levels is crucial. The Battery Warnlevel notification ensures that you are always aware of your smartphone camera's battery status. If the battery drops below a set level, you'll receive an alert, giving you time to recharge or replace it before it goes offline. This is especially useful for maintaining uninterrupted timelapse captures, providing reliability and ease of mind.
Instant Offline Notification (Smartphone Only)
Another valuable tool for smartphone users is the Instant Offline Notification. The Instant Offline Notification ensures you are alerted whenever your smartphone camera loses its connection for more than the allowed grace period. This feature keeps you informed about any unexpected disconnections, allowing you to address connectivity issues promptly and keep your timelapse projects running smoothly.
Benefits of Using Email Notifications
Real-time Alerts: Know right away if something goes wrong with your camera or timelapse project.
Reduced Downtime: Avoid losing precious footage by addressing issues as soon as they occur.
Peace of Mind: Rest assured that you'll be informed if something important requires your attention.
