I also wonder if a split screen and motion sensors could be also incorporated in the future to allow users to see where the tenants are in the apartment as well please?
Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning motion sensors here! I have done so directly to support and got very little response from them about this. We really need them added as a significant feature of the site.
This is a very useful feature indeed. I can’t disclose any due dates on completion of the first version of this function, but I can say that we have already done background stuff for detection to work, and it really works already. The only main thing left to do is to make UI/UX on the website communicate with backend stuff to be able to display activity data for all VHTV users.

I look forward to this developing, in that case! Thank you for replying

I am glad to see that this is in the works! It is very helpful when browsing the site.
I have a feeling that implementing this feature will be a very popular decision…and quite rightly so.

Motion detection wouldn’t only help us to find things live, it would also make the whole Replay feature so much more useful. If the blue line at Replay were linked to actual movement on that camera, it would be alot easier to find the action you are searching for. I would make this high priority.

That’s a very interesting idea. Needs deeper description to be researched though. Should it be painted in different color if activity was detected the time period it was on? This may turn into mess if we talk about timeline here. People enter and exit cameras. Maybe we could introduce some kind of minimum threshold to paint the line in that case. For example, timeline would have activity/motion markers if the action lasted more than X minutes. What do you think?
Anyway it sounds like the whole other version of this idea, to be introduced later after the initial release of motion detection is done. I guess we may see distinct changes to Timeline data as soon as viewers will enter the camera which has activity detected. This will make timeline graph more “descriptive” in terms of camera’s popularity metrics. That may lead to the idea of painting/changing timeline on “activity” unnecessary. Anyway, we will see if this is really needed as soon as we give some time after initial release.

I mean the blue line that is already there. I guess it is based on views now. But at RLC for example, this line shows the motion.
If RLC shows motion-only graph there, what happens to graph when there was no motion present on camera at given timeframe?
BTW, as paying member, you shouldn’t see the ad banner below timeline. This relies to google services for now, please make sure you allow google’s analytics stuff in your adblocking extensions. We can continue debugging this particular thing in PM.
Not quite rare to see the graph line with movements for some time without anyone being present in that cam in that period so guess it’s not views/action…

Oh man I thought our timeline graph is bad. Now I feel a bit better

Not being against any future improvements but giving my opinion i don’t think it’s a big issue not having that, unless it’s something more then alerting where people are (if they are) on cams because in general the apartments are quite small and in 2-3 clicks we can see all main division. But i could not be seeing the whole picture of it
So when the bars are high and no one is there (and wasn’t in the moment before it started the bars) it means that a good amount of viewers decided to watch the “paint drying in the wall”? 
it’s weird

sometimes it’s more interesting to see the paint drying off the wall than the contestants.
You have really made me laugh, with this gif so thank you for posting it!!! I quite understand what it represents too and thoroughly agree with you. The other timeline (on the other site that isn’t yours) is not as good, by any means! For example, you can’t split it down to separate minutes like you can on YOUR site one. I find yours much more user friendly.

Everybody have their own tastes and decides how they spend their time. Surely there are a lot of different walls to be appreciated by that type of subscribers
