Event Setup; Event Server Setup - COMPRO IP55 User Manual

Event Setup

When an event happens, like detected motion or triggered I/O device, a snapshot can be instantly sent to
your E-mail account, ftp server, image server, notification server, HTTP server, or SMS server to warn you
about what's happened.
In order to properly set up the event function, you must:
1. First set up the event server based on your needs: E-mail, FTP, Image or ComproView Notification.
2. Once the event servers are configured, you can then go to the trigger setup to configure the type of
event, motion, schedule and the associated even actions.
3. In the motion detection page, you can set up the region and the sensitivity for detection.
4. If you want to use the I/O input, please connect the I/O devices before event setup.

Event Server Setup

Here provides the configurations of 6 different event servers including E-mail, FTP, Image or ComproView
Notify, HTTP, and SMS. Please click on the event server you want to configure and input necessary
information.
Email server
This supports standard SMTP on SSL-protected webmail platforms such as Hotmail (Windows Live) and
Google Mail (Gmail). To use this function, in [Event Server Setup] > [Email Event Server Setup], enter their
