Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Enabling E-mail Alerts
You enable the use of e-mail alerts separately for the Milestone Recording Server (see page 61)
and—if applicable—the Viewer application (see page 135):
Note: When enabling e-mail alerts, also consider the e-mail alert schedules configured for each
camera in the Camera/Alert Scheduler window (see page 64).
• Enable E-Mail (Recording Server): Select check box to enable the use of e-mail alerts
when the Milestone Recording Server is running. E-mail alerts will then be sent when the
following conditions apply:
o
the Milestone Recording Server is running
o
motion is detected or an event, for which the sending of an e-mail alert has been
defined, occurs
o
motion is detected within a period of time for which an e-mail alert schedule has
been defined
• Enable E-Mail (Viewer): Select check box to enable the use of e-mail alerts in the Viewer
application. In effect, this will display the E-Mail Report button in the Viewer’s toolbar,
enabling users to send evidence via e-mail. If you clear the check box, the E-Mail Report
button will not be available in the Viewer’s toolbar.
Use of the e-mail feature is only possible when the Viewer is run on the surveillance system
server itself; not in a Viewer exported with video evidence.
Specifying Recipients
You specify the e-mail addresses to which e-mail alerts should be sent in the Recipient(s) field. If
specifying more than one e-mail address, separate the e-mail addresses with semicolons (example:
[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]).
Note: If e-mail alerts are enabled for the Viewer, the content you specify in the Recipient(s) field
will appear as the default value in the Viewer’s dialog for sending evidence via e-mail. Users will be
able to overwrite this default value.
Specifying Sender Settings
Note: SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is not supported; if the sender belongs on a server that requires
SSL, the e-mail alerts will not work properly. Also, you may be required to disable any e-mail
scanners that could prevent the application sending the e-mail alert.
• Sender e-mail address: Type the e-mail address you wish to appear as the sender of the
e-mail alert.
• Outgoing mail (SMTP) server name: Type the name of the SMTP server which will be
used for sending the e-mail alerts.
• Server requires login: Select check box if a user name and password is required to use
the SMTP server.
• Username: Field available only when Server requires login is selected. Type the user name
required for using the SMTP server.
• Password: Field available only when Server requires login is selected. Type the password
required for using the SMTP server.
