Appendix H- The Programming Script
Administrators and developers wishing to create a special level of customization within their
applications can create their own programming scripts using the Programming Script Editor.
Using the programming scripts demonstrated in this appendix, you can quickly develop
applications for: motion detection, event triggering, alarm notification via e-mail, picture storage to
FTP locations and a whole host of other functions limited only by your imagination.
The programming syntax and option information is supported by practical examples presented
within the context of genuine scripts that have been developed, tested and implemented into
proper user applications.
