Hi All,
I used to have an automation what send an photo via Telegram whenever the door opens.
This work great, only issue is that it is way to quick so i did not see who walked in as the photo was already taken.
So now i read some blogs and the advice was to use camera.record instead of camera.snapshot. Only i can’t get it to work. First issue was i did not install Stream and additional packages. But those are fixed. Now when i run my automation it doesn’t do anything (for what i can see). When i run the automation again it tells me it is already recording.
I already changed the duration time to “2” to make sure i was not to quick. But no joy.
Error log shows me:

My automation is not so exciting but here is the config.

The path where it saves is my secure path:

Hope anyone can see where i am going wrong.
