E-mail Setup
The e-mail alerting system must be configured prior to use. The following
settings must be configured;
Enable E-mail - Select to enable E-mail alerting. Note that camera and
system failures will automatically be sent via e-mail if this has not been
disabled under Advanced in the General settings window.
Advanced… - If a simple MAPI mail client is not available, SMTP e-mail
can instead be used. SMTP can also be used if the mail client requires
confirmation before sending e-mail.
Recipient(s) - Specify the e-mail address(es) for one or more recipients.
Use semicolons (;) to separate multiple addresses, e.g.
somebody@example.com; somebodyelse@example.com
Subject Text - Specify the text string to be used as the e-mail subject.
Message Text - Enter the text string that will be used as the e-mail body.
The name of the camera that generated the alarm is automatically
appended to the text.
Include Image - Check to include the image that generated the alert as an
attachment in the e-mail.
Time btw. mails… - Specify the minimum number of minutes between
alert e-mails for the individual camera, or set to 0 (zero) if each case of
detected motion should result in an alert e-mail. A motion alert from a
camera will not generate an e-mail if the minimum number of minutes
specified has not elapsed since the last alert e-mail was sent.
Notes: •During a longer period of constant motion, a large number of
alarms will be generated. It might not be desirable to send an
alert e-mail for every alarm.
•The Scheduler controls during which hours of the day motion
alert e-mails are sent, and also which cameras will be generating
them. See Scheduling Camera Activity and Alert Periods,
