Configuring Handlers
Event handlers are the actions that your camera takes when an event source occurs. Go to Events >
Handlers to configure Send Email, Upload JPEG to FTP Server, Write JPEG to SD Card, Open/Close
Relay, Display Overlay, Play Audio, Write Recording to SD Card, and Upload Recording to FTP Server
when an event occurs. The availability of handlers might change based on your camera model.
Configuring an Event Handler: Send Email
The Send Email event handler sends an email from your camera when a source event is triggered.
Note: You must have provided your camera with the address of an SMTP mail server on the General
Settings page (available under the Systemmenu) for your camera to send email notification for
events.
1. Click New Handler or select the handler you want to reconfigure.
2. Provide a name, between 2 and 23 alphanumeric characters, for the event handler in the Name box.
3. Select the Send Email handler type.
4. Provide the necessary information for your email in the To, From, Subject, and Message boxes.
5. (Optional) Select the JPEG Snapshot box if you want to send a JPEG snapshot as an attachment to
the email.
6. (Optional) Select the Attach Raw Event Data box if you want the email to include extra data about
the event. For example, select this box if the event is triggered by an alarm and you want to receive
data about the state, time, or type of alarm.
7. (Optional) Set time filters to determine the days and times during which the handler will be active. If
you do not select any filters, the handler will remain active at all times. All time values must be
formatted in 24-hour notation.
8. (Optional) If available, select the source(s) that you want to trigger this event handler.
9. Click Save.
Configuring an Event Handler: Upload JPEG to FTP Server
This event handler captures and uploads a JPEG to an FTP server when an event source is triggered.
JPEG files are named according to the date and time at which they are recorded; although, you can
determine the order of factors in the date-and-time filename.
1. Click New Handler or select the handler you want to reconfigure.
2. Provide a name, between 2 and 23 alphanumeric characters, for the event source in the Name box.
3. Select the Upload JPEG to FTP Server handler type.
4. Provide the address of your FTP server in the Server box.
5. Provide the credentials the camera will use to authenticate with the FTP server; the User Name
must be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters, and the Password must be between 4 and 16
alphanumeric characters.
6. Provide the path in which to store JPEG files on your FTP server in the Base Path box.
7. Select the File Name for your JPEG snapshots. JPEG files are named according to the date and
time at which they are recorded. The selection is simply the format of the date and time stamp.
8. (Optional) Set time filters to determine the days and times during which the handler will be active. If
you do not select any filters, the handler will remain active at all times. All time values must be
formatted in 24-hour notation.
