Alarm Alerts or E-Mail
The alarm alert feature lets a remote
surveillance station know any time an alarm
occurs (external sensor tripped, video motion
sense, and/or video signal lost).
A recording of the scene will also be available
at the Video Server PC.
This feature operates through an IP
connection, and can also alert persons via
email (with or without a 'snapshot' of the first
frame of the alarm-triggered recording).
TechTip: This feature must also be set up through
the Alarm Alert Caller module on the taskbar, and
the Video Server must be able to communicate with
the remote station (via IP). As well, the Alarm Alert
feature can be customized as desired at the remote
stations (see "Related Topics").
Note: This feature works only in conjunction with
alarm-based recording (motion-detection and/or via
an external input for each camera).
