extension. Pictures from alerts will be stored in files with this name, followed by the “.n.jpg” file 
extension, where n is the picture number (1, 2, 3, etc.). 

12. If desired, click the Advanced tab and provide information for use in delivering the data to a backup 

FTP server. This backup server would be used only if attempts to deliver the alert data to the 
primary FTP server failed. 

13. If you have the BotzWare Premium Software Module installed, you can choose to send images 

captured by the appliance cameras as JPEGs, M-JPEG AVI Files, or Signed M-JPEG AVI files. M-
JPEG AVI files are motion picture that can be played using standard media player software (such as 
Windows Media Player). Signed files provide proof that the generated images have not been 
tampered with or altered in any way, and are therefore more likely to be admissible as evidence in 
legal proceedings. To specify the format in which captured images will be sent, select the Advanced 
tab and then select the desired format from the Picture Export Format drop box.

14. Click OK to save this Alert Action.

For information on how to verify that signed AVI files have not been tampered with, see “Verifying 
Signed M-JPEG AVI Files” on page 199.

If you are creating an Alert Action that will use the Send E-Mail alert notification method:

1. Double click on the Alert Actions icon to start the Alert Actions task.

5. Type in the Maximum Camera Pictures field (or use the arrow buttons in the field to select) the 

maximum number of available images that will be included with the generated e-mail. Note that, 
depending on the Total Number of Pictures setting (located in the Camera Pod 120s configuration 
task), additional images may be captured by the appliance. The Maximum Camera Pictures 
setting specifies only how many of the pictures captured by the appliance will be included in e-
mailed alert notifications.

6. If you want a graph of the sensor values associated with the alert to be included in the e-mail, check 

the Include a Graph with the Alert check box.

7. If you want audio captured by the Camera Pod to be included in the data check the Include a Sound 

Clip with the Alert check box.

8. If you have the BotzWare Premium Software Module (PSM) installed and wish to include maps that 

indicate the sensor that triggered the alert action check the Include Related Maps with the Alert 
check box. Note that only maps that include the sensor that triggered the alert will be sent.

9. Specify Advanced Scheduling for the Alert Action (optional). By default, all Alert Actions are 

assumed to be active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you can specify that an Alert Action 
will be active only when alert conditions occur during specific time ranges. To configure Advanced 

The Target Directory and Base Filename fields accept BotzWare macros. For 
more information on macros supported by BotzWare see “BotzWare Macros” on 
page 187.
