Connect

no

The alarm functions would have little effect without

 

 

automatically triggering corresponding actions. Select

 

 

yes for automatic connection to the given IP address.

 

 

The idea is to provide a remote monitoring station with

 

 

live video in case of an alarm.

 

 

This feature can be useful even for many applications

 

 

not related to alarm conditions. One example is a

 

 

video-equipped door entry system: when the doorbell

 

 

is pressed, a contact closes and the connected

 

 

transmitter autonomously connects to a receiver. Full-

 

 

duplex audio can provide verbal communication, while

 

 

the relay output can open the door remotely.

 

 

On receivers, the default alarm connection IP address

 

 

is set to 192.168.0.1 (default IP of transmitter).

 

 

 

Live video

0.0.0.0

Enter the IP address of the transmitter or receiver to

receive IP

 

be notified in the event of an alarm. If that remote unit

 

 

has a password, enter it in the Remote Password field

 

 

below so the two units can communicate with each

 

 

other.

 

 

 

Remote

empty

If applicable, enter the password to access a

password

 

transmitter (refer to the Live Video Receive IP field

 

 

above).

 

 

 

Live video

off

Select on if at each restart an active connection

auto connect

 

should be set up automatically to the IP address

 

 

defined above. Otherwise, select no.

 

 

The auto connect feature guarantees an active

 

 

connection to the given alarm IP address even after

 

 

connection breakdown or network failures. If you

 

 

select auto connect, the network cable can be pulled

 

 

at any time. As soon as the network comes back

 

 

alive, the connection is reinstated. On a receiver, this

 

 

feature is enabled to establish a connection to a

 

 

transmitter automatically.

 

 

 

Send email

off

Select on to send an alarm e-mail in the event of an

 

 

alarm. A person who does not have a video reception

 

 

device can thus be informed via an attached JPEG

 

 

image sent to the predefined e-mail address.
