Actions Choose the desired options to designate actions that the camera takes when
events occur:
• E-Mail—Causes an e-mail message to be delivered to the SMTP server.
The e-mail alerts users that an event has occurred, and may include a
video file of the event and the URL of an FTP server from which users
can download the video file. (For more information about e-mail
messages, see the
“Mail & FTP Window” section on page 3-28.)
• FTP—Causes the video file to upload to the FTP server. (The FTP
server must be configured as described in the
“Mail & FTP Window”
section on page 3-28.)
• Alarm Output 1—Applies to output port 1 on the IP camera. Causes the
output port state to be activated as configured. (For more information
about output ports, see the
“Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on
page 3-35.)
• Alarm Output 2—Applies to output port 2 on the IP camera. Causes the
output port state to be activated as configured (For more information
about output ports, see the
“Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on
page 3-35.)
• Interval—Choose the amount of time, in minutes, that the camera waits
after detecting a condition before it triggers an event. A setting of 0
indicates no delay.
