  1. Begin configuring an alert in Room Alert Manager to trigger when motion is detected<\/strong>. This FAQ shows you the basic process: How To Create Alerts In Room Alert Manager<\/a>.\n
      \n
    • Stop <\/strong>when you reach “Step 3: Add actions to your alert.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In the Then…<\/em><\/strong> section of your new alert, select Motion GIF<\/strong> to add a Motion GIF<\/em> action.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In the Motion GIF Action<\/em> form, select the camera that you used for the alert threshold.\n
        \n
      • The camera used for the action must be the same camera used for the threshold.
        \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • (Optional) <\/em>You may associate the action with a Quiet Time<\/em> schedule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • In the Send GIFs to\u2026<\/em> field, select the notification group(s) that you’d like to send the images to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        GIFs only get attached to Email notifications. If your Notification Group<\/em> includes other types of notifications (such as in-app messages, email-to-SMS messages, or text messages via SMS modem), the notifications will simply include the name of the alert and camera (no attachments).<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Motion GIFs are only sent when an alert is triggered. GIFs are not <\/strong>captured or sent when an alert clears.\n
            \n
          • For this reason, you may wish to add an additional notification action to your alert, so that you get notified when the alert clears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • When you’re done configuring your alert, select Save Changes<\/strong>.
