EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SETUP
The Emergency Agent Notification alerts selected clients to motion, alarm, and video loss events detected by DX8100 server sites. When a
motion, alarm, or video loss event is triggered, a pop-up window opens on the monitor of the remote site client. The window displays one or
more still images taken during the event.
Users with Power User access and higher can configure the emergency agent notification system. The first step in the setup process requires
that clients be added to the emergency agent notification list. To complete this step, you must provide a valid name and the IP address of each
client computer. After clients have been added they can be linked to one or more cameras. Finally, the amount of time a server sends images
after an event occurs and the interval between sending each image must be set.
NOTE: Before configuring the Emergency Agent Notification, make sure the Emergency Agent Client utility is installed on one or more client
computers. For information about installing the Emergency Agent Client utility, refer to Installing the Client Emergency Agent Application in the
DX8100 Client Application manual.
