HANDLERS
Figure 11. New Event Handler Page
Event handlers are the actions that the encoder takes when an event occurs. The encoder supports the following event handlers:
Send Email: Sends an email to a defined email address when an event is activated. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server must be
configured to accept the encoder’s IP address.
Write JPEG to SD Card: Saves a JPEG of the activated event to an SD card. An SD card must be installed in the device for this handler to
function.
NOTE: The SD card must be formatted as FAT32. Other formats are not compatible with the encoder.
Upload JPEG to FTP Server: Saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
Open/Close Relay: Opens or closes the relay after an alarm is received.
CREATING AN EVENT HANDLER: SEND EMAIL
NOTE: To use email notification, the encoder must be connected to a local area network (LAN) that maintains an SMTP mail server. Consult your
network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local network.
1. Configure the SMTP server to send email.
2. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.
3. Select Handler from the drop-down menu.
4. Click in the Name box and type a user-friendly name (2 to 23 alphanumeric characters).
5. Select Send Email from the Type drop-down menu.
6. Click in the text boxes (To, From, Subject, and Message), and then type the necessary information in each text box.
7. Select the JPEG Snapshot box if you want to send a JPEG as an attachment.
8. Select the Attach Raw Event Data box if you want the email to include extra data about the event. For example, select this box if the event
is triggered by an alarm and you want to receive data about the state, time, or type of alarm.
