The e-mail feature lets you send an e-mail message to a recipient on any alarm event. This could
be used to signal an alarm to people who cannot be reached with a video-based notification.

To activate this feature, enable at least one of the alarm inputs, configure a receiver e-mail
address, and activate the Send Email button. Remember to configure a mail server and gateway IP
addresses on the General Settings configuration page.

Now the system will send an e-mail to the specified recipient on every alarm event. There will be a
timeout of at least 30 seconds before the same alarm event generates another e-mail message.

The e-mail will contain the status of the four alarm inputs so you can see which event triggered the
e-mail.

Live video control pages let you record the camera display on a PC’s hard drive and play it back
later. The file is recorded on the hard drive of the PC on which you are viewing the picture. The
controls are a row of buttons beneath the screen.
