IMPROVEMENTS/BUG FIXES

  • iOS widgets – update
    • Prevent widget: With the iOS prevent widget, you can display the preventive image from your camera and go directly to the app for the respective camera by tapping the image.
    • Alarm widget: The iOS event widget shows you the latest events. A tap of your finger on the overview image will take you to the corresponding video clip.
    • The iOS widgets are available from iOS 17 and replace the previous widgets from iOS 17.

  • iOS short commands – New
    • An iOS short command is a quick way to carry out one or more actions from the Smart Camera app without opening the app.
    • Once an iOS short command has been created, short commands can be executed in a number of places on the iPhone, e.g. directly in the “short cuts” app, via icon on the Home screen or in the iOS Control Center in Apple “short commands” widget, on the Apple Watch or via Siri voice command (only in the same Wi-Fi).
    • For example, create an icon to switch the lights of your outdoor camera on or off without opening the app.

  • iOS automations – New
    • iOS automation allows you to automate actions of all types directly with the help of your smartphone.
    • You can find automations in the iOS short commands app.
    • With automations, the actions of the iOS short commands app can be triggered automatically by various triggers. With an automation, you can e.g
      • Switch your camera on or off at fixed times (scheduling)
      • Switch on your camera when you leave the house and switch it off when you come home (geofencing)

For information about the new options with iOS short commands and iOS automations, you can find them in the Smart Camera app.
