NetCentral Settings Window
Note: Settings in the NetCentral Settings window are relevant only if you are using the NetCentral
add-on product in connection with NetDVMS.
The NetCentral Settings window lets you specify the login settings required for an NetCentral server to
access the surveillance system in order to retrieve status information and alarms.
Access: To access the NetCentral Settings window, click the Settings... button in the NetCentral
Settings section of the
General Settings window.
Specify login settings for the NetCentral server in the following fields:
•
Login: Type the name of the NetDVMS server. The name must match the name specified on
the NetCentral server itself. Default name is Name.
•
Password: Type the password used for accessing the NetDVMS server. The password must
match the password specified on the NetCentral server itself. Default password is Pass.
•
Port: Type the port number to which the NetCentral server should connect when accessing
the NetDVMS server. The port number must match the port number specified on the
NetCentral server itself. Default port is 1237.
•
IP: When the NetCentral server retrieves alarms from the NetDVMS server, the NetDVMS
server includes information about its IP address in the alarm information. If the NetCentral
server accesses the NetDVMS server over the internet, or if the NetDVMS server has two or
more network adapters, you must specify the IP address to which the NetCentral server
should connect. If you do not specify an IP address, the IP address of the first network
adaptor found the NetDVMS server will be used.
E-Mail Setup Window
The E-Mail setup window lets you enable and configure the use of e-mail alerts. Such e-mail alerts can
automatically be sent to one or more recipients when motion is detected or specific events (see
About
Input, Events & Output ...
) occur.
By default, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used when sending e-mail alerts. Compared with
other mail transfer methods, SMTP has the advantage that you will avoid automatically triggered
warnings from your e-mail client when an e-mail alert is to be sent. Such automatically triggered
warnings may otherwise inform you that your e-mail client is trying to automatically send e-mail
messages on your behalf.
Access: To access the E-Mail setup window, click the Email Settings... button in the
General Settings
window.
Enabling E-Mail Alerts
You enable the use of e-mail alerts separately for the Recording Server and—if applicable—the
Viewer application:
Note: When enabling e-mail alerts, also consider the e-mail alert schedules configured for each
camera in the
Camera/Alert Scheduler window
.
Enable E-Mail (Recording Server):
Select check box to enable the use of e-mail alerts when the Recording Server is running. E-mail
alerts will then be sent when the following conditions apply:
