NOTIFICATION

The unit allows you to configure the following settings:

•Alarm On: Sends a text-based alarm notification in response to an alarm event.

•Motion Detection: Sends a text-based motion notification in response to a motion event.

•Text In: Sends a text-based text notification in response to a text event.

•Admin Password Changed: Sends an administrator 01 ID notification in response to a change to the 01 ID administrator password. Changing the password of additional users who are assigned administrator-level permissions does not initiate a notification message.

•Video Loss: Sends a video loss notification in response to a video loss event detected on any channel.

•Power On/Off: Sends a power loss notification in response to the server power being turned off.

•Disk full: Has the following guidelines based on the Hard Disk Overwrite setting at the server:

–ALL: A disk full notification is not sent because the server does not issue a disk full warning. When the normal and event partitions are full, the server continues to record video by writing over previously recorded data (oldest recorded data is overwritten first).

–OFF: Sends a disk full text-based notification in response to a normal or event partition disk full warning. When the hard drive is full (normal, event partition, or both), the system stops recording.

–NORMAL: Sends a disk full text-based notification in response to an event partition disk full warning. When the normal partition is full, the system continues to record by writing over previously record data in the normal partition. When the event partition is full, the system stops recording data to the event partition.

–EVENT: Sends a disk full text-based notification in response to a normal partition disk full warning. When the event partition is full, the system continues to record by writing over previously record data in the event partition. When the normal partition is full, the system stops recording data to the normal partition.

The mail feature is configured and operates independently of the emergency agent feature. For information about setting up the emergency notification feature, refer to Emergency Notification Setup on page 53.

The unit allows you to configure the following settings:

•Notification: Enables or disables the notification feature.
