It is possible to assign a camera to a switch. Would it be advisable to additionally display this assignment in reverse, i.e. when opening a camera, it would be possible to immediately control all those switches that have this camera assigned to them?

Hello, that’s a great suggestion.  
When opening the camera device view assign switches devices.

Sonoff CAM-S2 is compatible to BIND ?

Thanks

I have long asked for such a function. It will be convenient to control devices from the camera menu itself. If we connect the camera to the device, then we lose all the functionality of the camera: turning on the microphone, speaker, siren. And it is important to be able to add several devices, not one!!! As an option, this is needed when installing a camera in boiler rooms, for remote testing of the operability of the entire system.

My interior camera is directed to the hallway and partly to the kitchen. There are smart light switches installed in the hallway and in the kitchen. I had in mind to analyze the switches where this camera is attached. Then in the camera window these switches would appear somewhere below with their names, with the ability to switch them immediately and see the effect.

Will we see a function where the device, e.g. a motion sensor, automatically displays the image from the camera on the NSPANEL PRO screen?

Hello. Installed the latest update. There are both positive and negative aspects. S-CAM started loading very, very slowly, before everything was much faster. Tried different methods. Connected both S-CAM itself and two additional ones, the result is the same. There are other aspects (it would take too long to describe in words, I’m attaching a video)
