Reviewing motion detection notifications
If you have configured camera-based notifications (see
), accounts configured to
be notified can log in to the web UI in order to review the video clips. If you have configured
email settings, these accounts will also receive an email when a camera-based event occurs.
Notifications contain snapshot images from the video clip of the detected motion or, depending
on your configuration, a link directly to the video clip. In this way, recipients can quickly assess
whether or not the event is serious, or just a false alarm.
Occasionally, as an administrator, you may sometimes be required to review these notifications
if, for example, the usual recipient is on vacation. You can do this from the web UI, without
logging in to a separate operator account. Alternatively, you can add yourself to the list of
people that will receive a notification via email (see

notification includes some images that are key frames from the motion detection video clip.
Set these settings with care. After video is recorded, it won’t be possible to adjust the image
quality again unless you download the file and use video editing software. Video editing
software may not be able to successfully correct for excessively bad image quality
