Requirement
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.

About user-defined events
If the event you require is not on the Events Overview list, you can create your own user-defined
events. Use such user-defined events to integrate other systems with your surveillance system.
