An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the server designated in advance. The settings
required to transmit an alarm image to a server can be configured in the "Alarm image setup" section of the [Alarm]

Important:
Select "FTP error" for "Save trigger" on the [SD memory card] tab when using the SD memory card. When
"Alarm input" or "Manual" is selected for "Save trigger", an alarm image will not be transmitted at an alarm occur-
rence to the FTP server.
Notify of alarm occurrences by e-mail
Alarm mail (alarm occurrence notification) can be sent at an alarm occurrence to the e-mail addresses registered in
advance. Up to 4 addresses can be registered as recipients of the alarm mail. An alarm image (still picture) can be
sent with the alarm mail as an attached file. The settings for alarm mail can be configured in the "E-mail notification
setup" section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm setup" page (
☞
page 61) and the [Mail] tab of the "Server setup"
page (
☞

Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol)
This function is available only when a Panasonic device, such as the network disk recorder, is connected to the sys-
tem. When "ON" is selected for "Panasonic alarm protocol", the connected Panasonic device will be notified that the
camera is in the alarm state. The settings for Panasonic alarm protocol can be configured in the "Panasonic alarm
protocol" section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm setup" page. (
