Name

Type a descriptive name for the notification profile. The name appears later whenever you select the notification profile during the process of creating a rule.

Description (optional)

Type a description of the notification profile. The description appears when you pause your mouse pointer over the notification profile in the Overview pane's Notification Profiles list.

Recipients

Type the e-mail addresses to which the notification profile's e-mail notifications should be sent. To type more than one e-mail address, separate addresses with a semicolon. Example: aa@aaaa.aa;bb@bbbb.bb;cc@cccc.cc

Subject

Type the text you want to appear as the subject of the e-mail notification.

You can insert system variables, such as Device name, in the subject and message text field. To insert variables, click the required variable links in the box below the field.

Message text

Type the text you want to appear in the body of the e-mail notifications. In addition to the message text, the body of each e-mail notification automatically contains this information:

• What triggered the e-mail notification.
• The source of any attached still images or AVI video clips

Time between e-mails

Specify required minimum time (in seconds) to pass between the sending of each e-mail notification. Examples:

• If specifying a value of 120, a minimum of 2 minutes pass between the sending of each e-mail notification, even if the notification profile is triggered again by a rule before the 2 minutes have passed.
• If specifying a value of 0, e-mail notifications is sent each time the notification profile is triggered by a rule. This can potentially result in a very large number of e-mail notifications being sent. If using the value 0, you should therefore carefully consider whether you want to use the notification profile in rules which are likely to be triggered frequently.

Number of images

Specify the maximum number of still images you want to include in each of the notification profile's e-mail notifications. Default is five images.

Time between images (ms)

Specify the number of milliseconds you want between the recordings presented on the included images. Example: With the default value of 500 milliseconds, the included images show recordings with half a second between them.

Time before event (sec.)

This setting is used to specify the start of the AVI file. By default, the AVI file contains recordings from 2 seconds before the notification profile is triggered. You can change this to the number of seconds you require.

Time after event (sec.)

This setting is used to specify the end of the AVI file. By default, the AVI file ends 4 seconds after the notification profile is triggered. You can change this to the number of seconds you require.

Frame rate

Specify the number of frames per second you want the AVI file to contain. Default is five frames per second. The higher the frame rate, the higher the image quality and AVI file size.

Embed images in e-mail

If selected (default), images are inserted in the body of e-mail notifications. If not, images are included in e-mail notifications as attached files.
