Please note that Camera Activities on the Total Connect/Remote Services website refers to the same feature as the Clip List on the mobile apps.
ALSO NOTE that Camera Activity is different from Total Connect's listing of all system activity, as seen in the following illustrations:
On the website:
In the first illustration, the Cameras page displays all instances of motion and sound detection by your cameras, as well as video clips and still image captures triggered by motion or sound detection.
Above: Camera Activities listed on the Cameras page of the website
In the second illustration, the Activity page displays all activity, system-wide, including Arm and Disarm events, along with motion/sound detection events and clip/still recordings from your cameras. For more information, see the FAQ What's in the Activity log on the app? (And can I sort or filter it?)
