■When alarm arises

•The message "Alarm" is displayed in the upper right corner of the Main Menu, Camera Control win- dow and Alarm List. The alarm status display may be delayed for a maximum of half a minute due to its refresh cycle.

•The pictures related to alarm events are stored in the camera.

The number of pictures stored differs depending on the pixel number, picture quality and the num- ber of pre-alarm pictures stored. The oldest data will be replaced by new picture data when the memory capacity is exceeded. The table below gives the number of pictures available for post- alarm storage.

A mail contains: the camera name, time & date of occurrence, cause of event, and the reference addresses to the stored pictures as follows.

URL of the picture: http//(Camera IP address)/ ALMxxxx_00.jpg

•"xxxx" stands for the event number, and "00" for the picture number.

•A picture numbered "00" will be automatically attached to the mail.

•Enter "39" instead of "00" in the address bar if you wish to view #40 picture.

•There may be cases where you cannot access the images notified by the mail when new alarm activa- tions took place after having sent the mail.
