Optimize camera capture at front door and make the automation less winded

Configuration
1

I have a motion detector and a camera at the front door.

Main target:
Take a series of pictures, maybe more that only 6 to make sure I capture what was trigging the motion detector, and to be able to go back to watch the photos at a later time. I would appreciate some input on how I would review them effectively too :slight_smile:

Here are two issues here:

  1. Simplify the action code - maybe do a loop (for… ?), or something completely different.
  2. Capture pictures faster than per 1 second?
  3. How would I review the captured photos effectively?

My action: which is triggered by a motion detector at the front door.
