When the day has a quiet stretch
Some days have a long quiet patch. An afternoon out, a nap, a stretch of time in a room no camera covers. When every camera in the home stays quiet for a while during the day, your check-in now names that stretch and, just as importantly, tells you when activity picked back up again.
Where to find it: look for the Across the cameras card in your Daily Digest email, and on the check-in detail in the portal. It appears on midday and evening check-ins, for homes with more than one linked camera.
How to read it: this describes what the cameras saw, not what your loved one was doing. A camera cannot show activity outside its view, or someone sitting quietly inside it, so a quiet stretch is not the same as an empty house. The card only appears when every linked camera was recording both before and after the quiet stretch, and it always tells you when activity resumed.
