Enable and Disable Alerts

Once you setup your email alerts you can quickly set the alert state

from the main view. This feature is great for enabling email alerts as

you leave for work or on a vacation, and turning them back off once

you get home (no need getting email indicating you’re moving around

your house).
From the main Live View, you Enable and Disable Email Alerts by clicking on the camera number – . When

the outer circle is blue, email alerts are disabled. When the outer circle is red, email alerts are enabled. You

can also enable and disable alerts from the Enable Alerts checkbox from the Setup…Email options dialog. (See

Email Options in the Werks Setup chapter for more details.)

Switch Cameras On and Off

At times, you may want to easily turn cameras off. Perhaps you are

having a family party in the backyard and there is no reason to record

all the activity. To turn a camera On and Off, click the On/Off button

below the camera number. When the button reads On – – the

camera is operating normally. When the button reads Off – – the

camera video feed is disabled until you click the button again.
