How do I configure my video storage space?

• Go to Menu > Settings > Video Storage and configure your account by entering your username and password.

• Only one account can be configured. You'll need to disconnect the configured account in order to configure another.

How do I save a video to my video storage space?

Directory Structure: Folders and Files

• A folder called Somfy Project will be created in your online space. A sub-folder with the name of your setup will be created, containing a folder for each of your cameras.

For example, if your setup is called "Home", and you have one interior camera named "Living Room" and one exterior camera named "Patio", you'll see the following structure: Somfy Protect > Home > Living Room and Patio.

Alarms and Videos:

• When your alarm or camera detection is activated and an incident occurs, a video is generated and saved to your media library in the Somfy Protect app. That same video is saved to your online video storage space under the date and time of the event. It may take a few minutes for the video to be saved to your online space.
• If you have several cameras, each camera will generate a video and store it in its folder in your online storage space.
• You can open the app for your online storage space from your Somfy Protect app's media library, or from Settings in your video storage.
