Description
Select this option to have the TVG send video of the seconds preceding the video-lost
event to an AVV server for downloading. The video is downloaded to the site defined in
the AVV screen, in the format defined there (see Automatically Uploading Video to an
AVV Server, page 64), and e-mail notifications are sent to all e-mail recipients (see SMS
and E-mail Notifications, page 58).
Note: Two e-mail notifications are sent – one when the event is first detected, and the
other when uploading of the video to the AVV server is completed. Thus, the video clip
may not be available yet when you receive the first e-mail notification.
Note: This feature only works if recording (either event-triggered or continuous) is
activated for the camera (see Video Recording Settings, page 96).
Note: For video-restored events, a few seconds of video following the restoration of the
video connection are recorded.
Note: This option only appears if AVV is activated for the TVG (see Automatically
Uploading Video to an AVV Server, page 64).
Select this option to have the TVG send SMS notifications when a video-lost event is
detected. Messages are sent to the recipients specified in the SMS and E-mail screen, in
the format defined there (see SMS and E-mail Notifications, page 58).
Select the desired type of e-mail notification, as follows:
• None: Do not send e-mail notifications when a video-lost (or video
restored) event is detected.
• Text only: When a video-lost (or video restored) event is detected,
send e-mail notifications. Include a text message in the e-mail, but do
not attach any images to the message.
• Text & image: When a video-restored event is detected, send e-mail
notifications that include both a text message and a picture of the first
frame after video was restored.
Note: This option is not available for video-lost notifications.
Note: E-mail messages are sent to the recipients specified in the SMS and E-mail
screen, in the format defined there (see SMS and E-mail Notifications, page 58).
Note: For video-restored notifications, if AVV is selected, Text & image is automatically
selected for this field. A single e-mail containing both the standard notification text and
the AVV notification is sent at the beginning of each event. In addition, a text-only e-mail
is sent when the file transfer is completed.
Note: For video-restored notifications, if AVV was once selected, and has since been
cleared, Text & image remains selected for this field until the selection is changed
manually. If it is not changed, AVV is not activated, but notifications with snapshots are
sent at the beginning of each event.
Select the action that each activator should perform when a video-lost event begins:
• Turn on: Set the activator line to “high.”
• Turn off: Set the activator line to “low.”
• None: Do not change the activator’s setting.
Note: For additional information about working with activators, see Configuring Sensor
and Activator Settings, page 110.
Note: The Activator 2 field only appears for the HVG, MVG, and UVG.
All PTZ cameras connected to the TVG are listed below this heading. If you want one of
these cameras to automatically aim at a preset location when a video-lost event begins,
beside the name of the camera, select the number of the preset location.
