Where are files stored?

<< < (2/5) > >>

ottanon:
for some reason I only have the pictures but no video. Does it save the video?

Stefan:
No, the Motion Events are stored as images. You can use various third-party applications to combine the still JPEG images to a movie file, if you want. (I have used QuickTime Pro in the past.)

rlm1949:
I currently computers operating and Iphone waits to do its thing. If the computer shuts down I can not view videos on my phone. 

Question, if the videos are stored on the source computer, and the computer is stolen while viewing images, how does this program assist me in safe-guarding the home?  I must be doing something wrong. Before you reply, my thinking is to save, what appears as IM, to the phones camera roll, but if the computer is stolen in the process, they got the video.  Please advise. ???

Stefan:
A number of users (myself included) use the free DropBox service to automatically upload a copy of the recorded motion events to a remote server in case a computer is stolen or there is a power loss: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=615.0

I love your app, I've recommended it to many many people.

Dropbox is a good option to store the image files in the cloud, but I like SugarSync better. The free account gives you 5GB vs only 2GB with Dropbox. Individual folder syncing across computers is easier with SugarSync in my opinion.

I hope this doesnt come across as spam because it will benefit all who sign up through this link - free accounts will get an additional 500 mb, and if you sign up for the cheapest paid plan (30 GB - $4.95/month) we both get an additional 10 GB (yes, that's TEN GIGS FREE). You can easily access all files right from the phone app or any web browser, so sending an entire folder of images to the cops only takes a couple of clicks. Pretty slick!
