Using Rules to Trigger E-mail Notifications
You use the
Manage Rule
for creating rules. The wizard takes you through all required steps. You specify the use of a
notification profile during the step on which you specify the rule's actions.
When selecting the action
Send notification to <profile>
, you get the option of selecting the required notification profile.
You also get the option of selecting which cameras any recordings to be included in the notification profile's e-mail
notifications should come from:
Keep in mind that recordings cannot be included in the notification profile's e-mail notifications unless something is
actually being recorded.
If still images or AVI video clips are required in the notification profile's e-mail notifications, you should therefore verify

For more information about rules in general, see Manage Rules (on page 133).
