3.6.3 Alarm Actions Section
The alarm actions section of the alarm handling parameters is used to control the actions that will
be taken when an alarm condition is declared.
Digital Output Tab
Digital Output Hold Time [ms] - Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the port will
remain active after an alarm condition is declared. If the value is set to zero, the port will remain
active as long as the alarm condition remains present.
Email Tab
Email - Enter an email address for the recipient of the email.
Email Server - Enter an address for the SMTP server that will be used to send the email.
Email Port - Select a port to use on the target email server.
Email User Name - Enter a user name for authentication on the SMTP server. Up to 15 numbers
and/or letters (upper or lower case) can be used.
Email Password - Enter a password for authentication on the SMTP server. Up to 29 characters
can be used. All standard keyboard characters are valid.
Action Enable - Checking the Action Enable box on the Digital
Output tab enables setting the state of a camera I/O port as an
action to take when an alarm condition is declared. If an alarm
condition is declared, the port will be set to active.
For this function to work correctly, the Direction parameter must be
set to "Output" on the I/O port you want to become active when an
alarm condition is declared, and the Function parameter for that port
must be set to "Alarm Announce". See Section 3.9 on page 57 for
more information about setting the camera’s I/O port parameters.
Action Enable - Check the Action Enable box on the Email tab to
enable the sending of an email as an action to take when an alarm
condition is declared.
Include Image - Check the Include Image box to include an image
with the email. The included image will be in JPEG format and will
be an image that was captured when the alarm was declared.
Note that an image will be included for each JPEG encoded stream
(see page 30) enabled on the camera. If none of the camera’s
enabled streams are set for JPEG encoding, the Include Image
check box cannot be checked.
