Table 1. E-mail Message Profiles tab in the Notifications window
Interface element Description
Test Profile button To test the notification email, select a profile email from the list and click Test Profile.
When list Determines when the notification email is sent. The default state is Alarm Starts.
To send a notification email when an event starts, select Alarm Starts.
To send a notification email when after an event, select Alarm Ends.
To send a notification email when an event starts and after the event ends, select Alarm Starts and Ends.
Send Rate Limit list To adjust the minimum number of seconds between sent email notifications, use the Send Rate Limit list. Adjusting the number of seconds between email notifications can reduce unnecessary emails. For example, if you configure a notification email to be sent every time a motion event occurs, during a thunderstorm thousands of emails can be sent. Adjusting the Send Rate Limit reduces those notifications.
Attach Preview Attaches video clips or images of the event to the email notification.
A video clip is sent with the email notification instead of an image if the camera is streaming in a H.265 or H.264 or MPEG-4 format.
Message field In the Message field, you can insert camera names, dates, times, serial information, Mac addresses, and links to video.
