Understanding Image Capture Methods of Camovue Camera

When using a Camovue camera, there are several ways to capture images depending on your needs. These capture methods include Motion Capture Image, Scheduled Snapshots, and Manual Snapshots. Each one serves a different purpose and can be configured to suit specific monitoring scenarios. Let’s break down the differences:

Motion Capture Image

This captures an image when the camera detects motion or an alarm event. It's useful for understanding what triggered the alarm, like people, animals, refer to “Step 2: Configure Motion Capture Settings”: How to Record Footage to a microSD Card on Camovue Camera.

Use Case: Ideal for monitoring specific triggers (e.g., intrusions or wildlife).

Scheduled Snapshots

These are taken at fixed intervals based on your settings. Perfect for users who want periodic snapshots of a scene. For more information, refer to: How to Set Up Camovue Camera Scheduled Snapshots.

Use Case: Great for regular updates on a monitored area.

Manual Snapshots

These are captured manually through the camera’s preview or playback interface. Perfect for users who want to capture a specific moment on demand, refer to: How to Use Manual Snapshot and Screen Recording in the Camovue App.

Use Case: Useful for capturing a moment during live or recorded footage.

Each capture method serves a specific purpose: Motion Capture Image automatically captures images when triggered, Scheduled Snapshots provide regular updates at set intervals, and Manual Snapshots allow you to capture specific moments on demand. Choose the one that best suits your monitoring needs.
