Creating a notification on IP Reconnection

The exacqVision software currently only sends notifications on the rising edge of a change in state, which allows it to send notifications on a loss in video or IP connection. In order to send notification on a reconnection we must detect the falling edge of the state change. This can be accomplished with a Source Group using the following steps which will assume you are monitoring an IP camera connection.

Follow the user manual for help in setting up your notification profiles.

From the Event Linking page, click on the New button (1) and select Source Group from the Event Type list (2).

Next, create an Event Source by clicking the New button (3).

In the window that appears give your new Source Group an identifiable name that describes what it does (1).

Choose the New button under Group Event Sources.

In this example we a monitoring an IP camera connection, so select IP Camera Connection from the list of Event Types.

Next, change the radio button selection for the Event Source to When not alarmed (4). This is what tells the software that the state has changed from an alarmed connection to no-longer alarmed, which is reconnected.

Finally, select your IP device from the list (5) and click Apply.

Back in the Event Linking window, select Notify from the Action Type menu (1).

Select your Action Target, in this case we have named our Email message profile Camera Reconnect (2) but it will display the names of the profiles that you have created.

Click Apply to complete the set up.
