Description
Starting with exacqVision 5.10, you can configure email notifications to include a video clip or still image from one or more cameras even if the event does not directly involve video (that is, if the event is not video motion, video loss, IP camera connection, or analytics) using Source Groups to associate video to the event.

- For IP Cameras – select IP Camera Connection and the camera you would like to attach video from
- For Analog Cameras – select Video Loss and the input of the camera you want to attach video from
- Select the Action Type ‘Notify’
- Select the Action Target ‘Message Profile’
- Select Apply to save the changes and close the Source Group Window
Note: Make sure that the Attach Preview box is checked on the E-mail Message Profile being used.
WARNING: Because ‘Any Source’ must be used, and the source group includes a video loss or IP camera connection trigger a notification will be sent based on those events.
Pro Tip: Source groups can be scheduled on/off on the Schedule Page.
In this IP Cameras example when the Input Trigger – Driveway East Soft Trigger 1 goes into alarm an email will be sent along with a video clip from the Driveway East Camera using the “Gmail” E-mail Message Profile.
