Configuration Default Setting Description
Item
Connect no The alarm functions would have little effect without
automatically triggering corresponding actions. Select
yes for automatic connection to the given IP address.
The idea is to provide a remote monitoring station with
live video in case of an alarm.
This feature can be useful even for many applications
not related to alarm conditions. One example is a
video-equipped door entry system: when the doorbell
is pressed, a contact closes and the connected
transmitter autonomously connects to a receiver. Full-
duplex audio can provide verbal communication, while
the relay output can open the door remotely.
On receivers, the default alarm connection IP address
is set to 192.168.0.1 (default IP of transmitter).
Live video 0.0.0.0 Enter the IP address of the transmitter or receiver to
receive IP be notified in the event of an alarm. If that remote unit
has a password, enter it in the Remote Password field
below so the two units can communicate with each
other.
Remote empty If applicable, enter the password to access a
password transmitter (refer to the Live Video Receive IP field
above).
Live video off Select on if at each restart an active connection
auto connect should be set up automatically to the IP address
defined above. Otherwise, select no.
The auto connect feature guarantees an active
connection to the given alarm IP address even after
connection breakdown or network failures. If you
select auto connect, the network cable can be pulled
at any time. As soon as the network comes back
alive, the connection is reinstated. On a receiver, this
feature is enabled to establish a connection to a
transmitter automatically.
Send email off Select on to send an alarm e-mail in the event of an
alarm. A person who does not have a video reception
device can thus be informed via an attached JPEG
image sent to the predefined e-mail address.
