Use Case: Airbnb Hosts

Ring camera monitoring built for Airbnb hosts

Guest turnovers, check-in windows, vacant periods between bookings — your Ring cameras need different alert rules at different times. PropertyVue syncs with your reservation calendar and adjusts monitoring automatically.

The short-term rental challenge

Unlike long-term rentals, your properties cycle through occupied and vacant states constantly. A motion alert at 3pm means nothing when guests are staying — but everything when the property should be empty.

Ring's app doesn't know your booking schedule. It sends the same notifications whether you have guests or not, flooding you with irrelevant alerts during stays and burying the critical ones between bookings. Multiply that across multiple listings and it becomes unmanageable.

How PropertyVue helps

PropertyVue imports your Airbnb calendar and automatically adjusts alert sensitivity based on whether guests are checked in, checked out, or arriving soon. Your cameras become context-aware.

  • iCal reservation sync from Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com
  • Guest Mode alerts — relaxed during stays, strict between bookings
  • Early check-in and late checkout detection
  • Unauthorized entry alerts during vacant periods
  • Multi-listing dashboard with per-property status
Reservation Sync

Your cameras know your booking schedule

Import your iCal feed and PropertyVue automatically cross-references every camera event against your reservation calendar.

Early Check-In Detection

Guest detected at the property before your scheduled check-in time? PropertyVue flags it immediately so you can coordinate — especially useful when cleaners are still working.

Late Checkout Alerts

Activity detected after the checkout window has passed. Know right away so you can reach out to the guest and prevent delays for the next arrival.

Vacant Period Monitoring

No reservation on the books? Any person detected at your property triggers an immediate alert. Maximum security for the gaps between bookings.

Guest Mode

Smart alerts that respect guest occupancy

Guest Mode adjusts your alert policies based on occupancy state. During guest stays, only unusual activity triggers notifications. Between bookings, every motion event gets flagged. No manual toggling required.

  • Relaxed alerts during active guest reservations
  • Strict monitoring during vacant periods between bookings
  • Heightened sensitivity during check-in and checkout windows
  • Quiet hours alerting for late-night disturbances
  • Automatic state transitions based on your calendar

Alert Behaviour by State

GUEST CHECKED IN

Only alert on quiet hours violations and unusual multi-camera sequences

CHECKOUT WINDOW

Heightened monitoring — flag any activity extending past checkout time

VACANT — NO BOOKING

Full sensitivity — every person and vehicle detection triggers an alert

CHECK-IN WINDOW

Watch for early arrivals and verify guest access during the expected window

Entry intelligence for short-term rentals

PropertyVue analyzes multi-camera event sequences to distinguish between authorized guest access and unauthorized entry.

Authorized Guest Entry

When entry is detected during an active reservation and within the check-in window, PropertyVue logs it as authorized and suppresses unnecessary alerts.

Unauthorized Access Detection

Entry detected outside a reservation window or during a vacant period triggers immediate notification with event details and camera footage links.

Occupancy Pattern Analysis

Track how many entry and exit events occur at your property to detect potential unauthorized additional guests or parties.

Cleaner and Maintenance Tracking

Expect your cleaner between checkout and check-in? PropertyVue can recognize expected turnover activity and flag when no one shows up on schedule.

Your Ring cameras, your booking schedule, one dashboard

Connect your Ring account and import your Airbnb calendar. PropertyVue handles the rest — smart alerts that know when guests are expected and when your property should be empty.
