How this automation works
Automatically start your QNAP camera recording when motion is detected by your Blink camera. This Applet runs whenever your selected Blink camera senses motion and triggers your QNAP Surveillance Station to begin recording. Perfect for enhancing home security and ensuring no suspicious activity goes unrecorded. Note: Users must have IFTTT Agent v1.1+ and Surveillance Station v5.1.1.2+ installed on their QNAP device.
