• Send an external alarm through email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the
AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to local storage. If
MJPEG is not being recorded on local storage, then no JPEG picture is sent.
• Send an audio file through the unit. If a speaker has been connected to the audio output
on the unit the file can be played as the alarm is triggered.
• Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file contains
pre and post alarm video buffer and audio if enabled and supported, as outlined above.

manual reset is not available.
2. A micro SD Card must be inserted to send an SMTP email, video files, audio and
images from triggered alarms.
