Tasks for a group of cameras🔗
Automation tasks (Scheduled tasks and Tasks on system events) can be configured not only for each camera separately, but also for all cameras in the folder and its subfolders.
When doing so:
Tasks configured for the parent folder will be added to task settings of each subfolder.
A new camera added to a folder will have applied all the tasks configured for this folder.
A camera that has been moved from one parent folder to another will update the task list, overriding the old folder's tasks and inheriting the new folder's tasks.
A subfolder that has been moved from one parent folder to another will update the task list, overriding the old folder's tasks and inheriting the new folder's tasks.
Warning
Only Scheduled tasks and Tasks by events can be configured for folders. Configuration of User tasks for folders is not available.
