The cameras can be manually updated via the `trigger_camera` service which will ignore the throttling caused by `scan_interval`. As a note, all of the camera-specific sensors are only polled when a new image is requested from the camera. This means that relying on any of these sensors to provide timely and accurate data is not recommended. -Please note that each camera reports two different states: one as `sensor.blink__status` and the other as `binary_sensor.blink__motion_enabled`. The `motion_enabled` property reports if the `camera` is ready to detect motion *regardless if the system is actually armed**. The `status` property is more descriptive, and can be one of the following states: - -- `disabled`: System is disabled. -- `disarmed`: Camera and/or system are disarmed and not ready to detect motion. -- `armed`: System and camera are armed and detecting motion. +Please note that each camera reports two different states: one as `sensor.blink__status` and the other as `binary_sensor.blink__motion_enabled`.
