However, if you have created additional Alert Profiles you can specify that a threshold use an 
Alert Profile other than Default.

– Select Cameras to Trigger in response to the alert. If desired, alert notifications generated in 

response to this threshold can include image captures from any Camera Pod 120s connected to 
your appliance. To include images from one or more connected Camera Pod 120s, check the 
check boxes that correspond to the desired pods. 

– Specify a User-specified URL and User-specified Description. You can use these fields to 

include additional user-specific information with any alert notifications that are generated using 
this threshold. 

9. Click OK to save this threshold.

A range threshold is defined by defining an acceptable range of values for a sensor by specifying a 
minimum and maximum value. If the value reported by the sensor falls outside of the limits defined by 
the range an alert condition is reported. To define a range threshold:

1. Start the Camera Pods, Sensor Pods, or Device Crawlers task by double-clicking on the appropriate 

icon.

2. Click Sensors... to open the Sensor Configuration window.

3. Select from the Sensors selection list the sensor for which you will define a threshold. A list of 

thresholds that have been previously defined for the selected sensor, if any, appears in the 
Thresholds selection list.

4. Click Add... to open the Select Threshold window. Select Range Threshold and then click OK to 

close the Select Threshold window.

5. Type in the Threshold Name field a name for this threshold.

6. Specify Basic threshold settings. From the Basic tab in the Thresholds pane:

a. Type in the Maximum field (or use the arrows in the field to specify) the highest acceptable 

value for the selected sensor. This is the value that defines the upper limit of the acceptable range 
for this sensor. If the sensor reading exceeds this value an alert condition results.

b. Type in the Minimum field (or use the arrows in the field to specify) the lowest acceptable value 

for the selected sensor. This is the value that defines the lower limit of the acceptable range for 
this sensor. If the sensor reading falls below this value an alert condition results.

c. Check the Enabled check box to enable the threshold. If this check box is not checked, the alert 

threshold will be saved but will not be active.

d. Add to the Threshold-Specific Addresses list the e-mail addresses of any personnel to whom e-

mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold triggers an alert condition. Click Add..., 
type in the e-mail address to which the alert notification will be sent, and then click OK.

If you’ve installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled 
devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format: 

sms:sms_device_address

The Alert Profile drop box will appear in the Advanced tab only if additional 
Alert Profiles have been created. For more information see “Creating an Alert 
Profile” on page 63.
