Event Snapshot
Under Event Snapshot, you can choose to attach a single snapshot or multiple snapshots taken within a specified interval to email messages when an event is detected. Attaching multiple snapshots can help record the event more completely, lowering the chance of missing detected movements or objects in the pictures.
To attach a single snapshot
- Select the Only take one snapshot when detecting an event option.
To attach multiple snapshots taken within a specified interval
- Select the Take snapshots when detecting events, and continue to take snapshots within a specified duration after the events occur option.
- Specify the duration (in seconds) after an event occurs.
- Click Save to apply changes.
Note:
- To attach event snapshots, the Attach an event snapshot option in the Email or Push Service tab must be enabled.
- The number of snapshots taken within a specified interval varies depending on the camera model.
Mobile Notifications
As an administrator, you can decide to send all mobile messages to non-admin users, allow them to receive only messages regarding the cameras and devices they have privileges to, or temporarily pause all their notifications.
To determine the mobile notification types for non-admin users:
- Select a suitable option from the drop-down menu.
- Click Save to apply changes.
Notification Combination Setting
To avoid receiving excessive notifications of the same event types within a period of time:
- Tick the checkbox to enable the function.
- Specify the duration of the interval (in minutes) to combine notifications.
- Click Save to apply changes.
Note:
- Enabling this feature will disable the Attach event snapshot function.
