### Save Video Locally When Motion Detected ### Save Most Recent Video Locally When Motion Detected
When motion is detected, you can use the Blink Home Assistant integration to save the last recorded video locally, rather than relying on Blink's servers to save your data.

Again, this example assumes your camera's name (in the blink app) is `My Camera` and your sync module name is `My Sync Module`. The file will be saved to `/tmp/videos/blink_video_{YYYMMDD_HHmmSS}.mp4` where `{YYYYMMDD_HHmmSS}` will be a timestamp create via the use of [templating](/docs/configuration/templating/).

### Save All Recent Clips Locally on a Schedule
A list of all the recent video clips is updated at each refresh of the Blink system.
The video clips are available in a download list (per camera) for up to an hour,
and they can be downloaded at any time before the one-hour expiration time.
After a clip is downloaded it is removed from the list.
The following example demonstrates saving recent clips every three minutes.
It assumes your camera's name (in the Blink app) is `My Camera`.
The file will be saved to `/tmp/videos/YYYYMMDD_HHmmSS_MyCamera.mp4`.
The file name of the downloaded video file is not configurable.
```yaml
- id: save_recent_clips_from_my_camera
alias: "Save Recent Clips from My Camera"
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
minutes: /3
action:
- service: blink.save_recent_clips
data:
name: My Camera
file_path: /tmp/videos
