Camera Messages

The Messaging and Messaging 2 dialogs allow defining two different sets of messaging paths to be used when different alarms occur.

In this dialog, you set up the camera to only send an e-mail when the video motion sensor detects a movement, but not when the PIR sensor reports an event, for example. See also: Example for Using Event Control.

Notes:

Even if the Message Profile in the Messaging or Messaging 2 dialog has been activated, the camera will only execute the messages if the Arming parameter in the General Event Settings dialog has been activated.
Click on the More button at the bottom of the dialog to display all options.
