HANDLERS
Event handlers are the actions that the camera takes when an event occurs. The camera supports the following event handlers:
Send Email: Sends an email to a defined email address when an event is activated. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server must be
configured to accept the camera’s IP address.
Write JPEG to SD Card: Saves a JPEG of the activated event to an SD card. An SD card must be installed in the device for this handler to
function.
NOTE: The SD card must be formatted as FAT32. Other formats are not compatible with the camera.
Upload JPEG to FTP Server: Saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
Open/Close Relay: Sends a signal to an external device when an alarm or relay is triggered.
CREATING AN EVENT HANDLER: SEND EMAIL
NOTE: To use email notification, the camera must be connected to a local area network (LAN) that maintains an SMTP mail server. Contact your
network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local network.
1. Configure the SMTP server to send email.
2. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.
3. Select Handlers from the drop-down menu.
4. In the New Event Handler section of the window, click the Name box and type a user-friendly name (2 to 23 alphanumeric characters).
5. Select Send Email from the Type drop-down menu.
6. Click the boxes (To, From, Subject, and Message), and then type the necessary information in each box.
7. Select the JPEG Snapshot box if you want to send a JPEG as an attachment.
8. Select the Attach Raw Event Data box if you want the email to include extra data about the event. For example, select this box if the event
is triggered by an alarm and you want to receive data about the state, time, or type of alarm.
9. If you do not want the handler to activate every time an event occurs, set filters for the handler:
a. Select the day(s) of the week on which you want emails to be sent.
b. Type times in the Start and End boxes for the days you have selected. Use time values in 24-hour notation (for example, use 0800 for
8:00 a.m., 1600 for 4:00 p.m.).
c. If required, click the plus button (+) to add another time range.
10. Select one or more event sources to send an email when those event sources are activated.
11. Click the Submit button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
CREATING AN EVENT HANDLER: WRITE JPEG TO SD CARD
1. Install an SD card in the SD card slot located on the back of the camera.

4. Click in the Name box and type a user-friendly name (2 to 23 alphanumeric characters).

the File Name drop-down menu.
