Using the Sealevel SeaDAC Lite (P/N 8112 and similar), you may send a signal to an external
device when the motion sensor is triggered. The Sealevel 8112 has 4 digital inputs and 4 digital
relay outputs (numbered 0 to 3). In addition to the device and its drivers being installed, you
must also have the SeaMAX.dll in your Blue Iris program folder. To configure this and other
devices, see
Options/Digital I/O (See 11.).
SMS Text Message
The SMS alert allows you to send a text message to a cell phone. The requirement is that your
carrier provides an SMS gateway--that is, an email address to which you may send an email
and have it converted to an SMS message.
Specify the outgoing email server to use as configured on the Options/Email (See 11.) page.
Most large carriers offer this service to their subscribers, but if yours does not, you may try the
Teleflip service or one like it. If your carrier is not listed, you may obtain the gateway address
from them and select "Other gateway" and enter it manually.
Use the Timer to force Blue Iris to wait a specific amount of time between consecutive SMS
messages, even if the camera remains in the triggered state.
Email
The Email alert will contact your outgoing (SMTP) email server directly, and send a message.
