Email and FTP

The SMTP server for e-mails and the email addresses must be created in the System control to enable the system to forward the messages (see Configuring the SMTP server).

In case of an alarm it is possible to send a standard email or specify a data export to an FTP server in addition to the alarm message.

  1. Enter the subject and text for the email message.
  2. Select the recipients to receive the email at the start and end of the alarm. You can specify the email addresses in the section "Alarm addresses and system addresses" of the system settings (see Alarm addresses and system addresses).
  3. Select the cameras whose data at the end of the alarm is to be attached to the email and specify the data format. Two types of file format are possible:
  4. Select the cameras whose data is to be stored on an FTP server when there is a large volume of data, and specify the data format. The FTP server is defined in the Ocularis Recorder VA Administration Tool (see Ocularis Recorder VA Administration Tool).If there are problems contacting the FTP server at alarm end, e.g. the FTP server is not available, the program retries sending the data to the FTP server once every minute. After one hour the attempt is canceled and the data are discarded.
  5. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
  6. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
