📸 Send camera snapshot notification on motion

[lgcness (LarryGC)]

Here is my automation to record camera instead of snapshot: This automation will send 30 seconds video (mp4) thru gmail. I’m only sending 30 sec video only to minimize the size of the file. You can adjust the camera resolution also to make file size smaller. Also I set the Yolink motion sensor to trigger motion every 15 minutes and I have 45 sec delay before sending the file.

1. I’m using different trigger like Yolink outside motion sensor, Garage door alarm switch, Eufy Video Door.
2. I’m using various Amcrest camera.
3. I setup SMTP integration with Google.
4. Optional, I’m using Alarmo integration from HACS for “condition” in case if I’m working in the yard not to trigger the automation.
