Notification profiles
About notification profiles
Notification profiles allow you to set up ready-made email notifications, which can automatically be
triggered by a rule, for example when a particular event occurs. You can include still images and AVI
video clips in the email notifications.
The system does not support TLS (Transport Layer Security) and its predecessor SSL (Secure Socket
Layer). If the sender belongs on a server that requires TLS or SSL, email notifications do not work
properly. Also, you may need to disable any email scanners that could prevent the application from
sending the email notifications.
Prerequisites
Before you can create notification profiles, you must specify settings for the outgoing SMTP mail
server for the email notifications.
If you want the email notifications to be able to include AVI movie clips, you must also specify the
compression settings to use. To do so, go to Tools > Options This opens the Options window.
Specify the Outgoing SMTP Mail Server on the Mail Server tab and the compression settings on the
AVI Generation tab.
Add notification profiles
1. Expand Rules and Events, right-click Notification Profiles > Add Notification Profile. This
