reestablished automatically to one of the specified IP addresses after each restart.

standalone G.711-encoded audio stream with alarm connections.

8.8.1 Sending an Alarm E-mail

The device can be configured to send an e-mail when an alarm has been triggered. You can

send a JPEG image taken from the camera or you can send a pre-defined Short Message

Service (SMS) text message. If you activate this feature, the device sends the e-mail message

to the specified e-mail server when an alarm is triggered. To configure for Alarm e-mails, do

the following:

1. Open the IP AutoDome Livepage, then click the Settings tab.

2. Click the Alarm Settings link, then click Alarm e-mail. The IP AutoDome displays the Alarm

e-mail screen.

Figure 8.17 Sending an Alarm E-mail

3. Select On from the Send alarm e-mail drop-down list to automatically send an e-mail in

the event of an alarm.

4. Type the IP address for the e-mail server that receives the e-mail from the device and

then transfers the e-mail to the recipient within the Mail Server IP address field.

5. Type the SMTP Username and SMTP Password necessary to access the e-mail server.

6. Select one of the following options from the Layout drop-down list:

– Standard (with JPEG): Sends an e-mail that contains a JPEG image from the video

stream.

– SMS (max. 160 char.): Sends a text-only e-mail message to a mobile phone.

7. Check the box to attach a JPEG image from the camera from the video stream, with the

e-mail.

8. Type the address that receives the alarm-activated e-mail message within the Destination

address field.

9. Type a unique name within the Sender Name field to identify the unit that sends the e-

mail. This parameter makes it easier to identify the origin of the e-mail. When finished,

click Set to save all settings.

10. To test the e-mail function, click the Send Now button.
