Alarm Notification
you have received an email alarm from the Video Surveillance WebCam Software.

*Alarm Email on Camera 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,.
an alarm condition was detected on all the following cameras 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Around file D072506T201055CAM000.avi
the video of the alarm is in video file name  D072506T201055CAM000.avi for camera number 0.  And also in other files around it if each camera records to a separate file, for example also check other file D072506T201055CAM001.avi the camera 1 file, and so forth. Thus check files with a similar date and time D072506T201055 for all of the alarm conditions for all cameras.

From System: My Computer
The alarm came from this computer name in case you have several computers running the Video Surveillance WebCam Software.


07/25/06  20:11:09
at this time an email alarm was generated by the Video Surveillance WebCam Software since Use Email Alarm was enabled on some cameras.

Note: "Stream" links below only are included in the email if you have File Streaming enabled in the Video Surveillance WebCam Software. Otherwise the "Stream" links below are not in the email alarm sent. Stream File program must be running.

Note: The "Stream" links only work if you enable them to work. You enable them through the Web Server Program, under menu item, Server, Set Server Configuration, Allow Some Stream File Commands Without Logon. Stream File program must be running.

The following are links to connect directly to your video monitoring computer running the Video Surveillance WebCam Software. Use these if links if your computer is connected to the internet with a simple modem, or you are connecting through your LAN.


Connect to computer.
Logon: http://192.168.2.1:90/logon.htm
click on this link to take you to the Video Surveillance WebCam Software logon page with a web browser. So you can logon and execute whatever remote commands you want from the Admin web page.

Stream New Files: http://192.168.2.1:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avin
starts file streaming and plays the most recent recorded files in Windows Media Player. As soon as newly created files become available they are streamed.

Stream Forward From: http://192.168.2.1:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avif
starts file streaming and plays file D072506T201055CAM000.avi and additional files after this file in Windows Media Player. Does not accept or stream anymore newly created files.

Stream Back From: http://192.168.2.1:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avib
starts file streaming and plays file D072506T201055CAM000.avi and additional files before this file in Windows Media Player. Does not accept or stream anymore newly created files.

Stop Streaming: http://192.168.2.1:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avis
stops file streaming so no video is streamed from the Stream File program. Do this when you have stopped reviewing the files, and are finished with the email. Newly created files are loaded but not streamed.

The following are links to your router's address on the internet if you are using a router. You must insure that router's ip address or url has been correctly entered into the Video Surveillance WebCam Software's settings, and that your router has been configured correctly before hand - otherwise the links will not work.

Connect to router.
Logon: http://23.92.21.8:90/logon.htm
click on this link to take you to the Video Surveillance WebCam Software logon page with a web browser. So you can logon and execute whatever remote commands you want from the Admin web page.

starts file streaming and plays file D072506T201055CAM000.avi and additional files after this file in Windows Media Player. Does not accept or stream anymore newly created files.

Stream Back From: http://23.92.21.8:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avibr
starts file streaming and plays file D072506T201055CAM000.avi and additional files before this file in Windows Media Player. Does not accept or stream anymore newly created files.

Stop Streaming: http://23.92.21.8:90/D072506T201055CAM000.avisr
stops file streaming so no video is streamed from the Stream File program. Do this when you have stopped reviewing the files, and are finished with the email. Newly created files are loaded but not streamed.


The number of additional files to play is equal to the value of the parameter, Number of Files to Play Forward, as set in the Stream File program, under menu item Program Settings.

If the given files above no longer exist or have been automatically deleted by the Video Surveillance WebCam Software the above stream file links will not work because they are outdated. Therefore old email alarms may have expired non-working links in them.

Stream File links may not also work if  No Motion Alarms are used, since no video is stored to video files for no motion detection.
