Video Analytics Alarm to Email
Shown at the right is an example of an alarm rule that
causes an email notification (with a snapshot image) to be
sent when a motion alarm occurs in Analytics Region 0 or
Region 1 (Area or Tripwire).
Refer to Creating Analytics Regions, pg. 53).
The Alarm Source Device Type is set to Video Analytics
with Alarm Id set to “1” corresponding to Analytics Area 1.
The Send Notification action uses a Msg System and a
Notification List that are set up in the Services menu (refer to
Msg Systems Page, pg. 32). The email includes alarm
information, including the Area ID and if it is a human or
vehicle alarm. When an email is sent, the Alarm Manager
can attach a snapshot from the camera to the email. In
Attach Image File, All Non Radiometric is selected for the
type of image.
GPIO Input to Snapshot
In the example rule shown at the right the source type of the
alarm is GPIO, with the Input ID set to 1, which corresponds
with the input IO 1 (refer to Devices Menu, pg. 61), then
takes a snapshot and stores it locally onboard the camera
and/or over the camera network using FTP or an NAS
server.
The Action is set to Capture Image File; a snapshot is
stored when the alarm occurs. The image file can be stored
locally in temporary storage (the default), over the camera
network using FTP (file transfer protocol) or to a network-
attached storage device (NAS). Refer to File Transfer, pg. 57
to configure settings for the FTP, NFS, or Samba transfers.
