OTIFICATIONS
The PR-720 Series has an extensive system of notifications by e-mail for routine and extraordinary events
during its operation. Events can be informational, like “Archive uploaded”, or they can be error reports such
as “Disk full”.
Event are categorized by their severity level (Info, Warning, Error and Critical), and by their specific action or
type (e.g. Session start, Recording start, etc.). Events can be system-wide (e-mails are sent to the system
administrator) or Channel specific (a subset of events is associated with a single Channel and sent to an e-
mail address associated with that Channel).
System-wide events are configured in the Configuration → Notifications → Select Events Menu, and
Channel related events are configured in the Channel → Modify → Notifications → Select Events Menu (see
Section 4.8.). The rules controlling event reporting are the same in both cases, except for the system or
Channel orientation of the activity.
In summary, there is a comprehensive e-mail notification system in place to inform the administrator that
“The disk is full!” or the Channel owner that “Your recording is ready” and many other notices.
3.9.1. Notifications
This dropdown menu selection enables or disables the system-wide e-mail notification service. It does not
affect Channel notification activity.
