Trap
Full SNMP function support and integration with Network Management Software is included. SNMP traps provide organizations with an important management solution for their assets. SNMP traps are sent immediately following an event condition providing the ability for a timely response. Traps will be sent by the cameraProbe8 and securityProbe and handled by the NMS for centralized event logging and automatic response to events. Traps can be sent to two different destinations.

Email
Email notification is a popular way to alarm targeted people to recognize the unusual condition. Users can notify up to 6 recipient email addresses to take necessary actions.

SMS
Mobile phones play a major role in people's lifestyles; SMS notification is one of the fastest ways to alert targeted staff. The user is able to notify multiple telephone numbers with a customized message. SMS messages can be sent via Ethernet to a SMS gateway, through an optional dial up telephone line modem to an SMS gateway or through an optional attached mobile phone or GPRS modem.

MMS
MMS notification is an easy way to reach selected people to with customized messages along with recorded images of any event. The targeted person will be able to identify the problem and find solutions as soon as they receive the notification. Sending SMS and MMS messages can be restricted to certain sensor types and severity status of the sensor to reduce costly operator fees. SMS and MMS messages can be set as an option, activated only when the Ethernet is down or when the optional telephone modem cannot dial out. MMS can also be sent via an optional attached mobile phone or GPRS modem.

Alarm Sound
Alarm Sound notification is one of the easy ways to alert designated people. Alert play time, speaker volume and sound type are all adjustable. The configuration of sound types is flexible; for example one alarm sound can be applied for all statuses or distinctive sound chosen for each level of urgency. Sound can be customized by downloading a wav file. This allows a unique sound for each sensor and for each status of every sensor. The alarm sound can be played through the included internal speaker or through an optional external speaker.

Speech
The Speech notification provides meaningful messages by letting the securityProbe talk to the user using text to voice technology. Messages can be predefined as a Default or Custom message. Speech alerts can be played through the included internal speaker or through an optional external speaker.

Telephone Call
Text to voice technology is used to dial out and deliver custom messages to multiple users. Using an optional attached telephone modem, users are delivered detailed spoken messages. The recipient can be asked for an acknowledgement, thereby guaranteeing delivery. The Telephone call is extremely customizable, for example a single listed phone number can be required to acknowledge or all listed phone numbers can be required to acknowledge receipt of the message, depending on status severity. Telephone call destinations can be a land line phone or a mobile phone, national or international.

FTP
The FTP notification allows pictures and information to be uploaded to an FTP server. This allows users to retrieve an unlimited number o f recorded events from the FTP server for further action.

Event Log
Event Log captures each event as it occurs, recording images and details of each event. The event log offers a great deal of flexibility including an unlimited number of pictures per event and customizable interval between pictures after the event. For example, whenever the security sensor indicates that the front door has been opened a recording for 2 seconds prior to the event and then for 5 seconds after the event can be recorded whereas the temperature sensor on port 3 can be configured to only record one picture when the status is critical.

Custom Script
A Custom script is the most flexible source of notification allowing users to create their own notification methods and messages. Any imaginable action can be taken. The script can have full knowledge of the event including such parameters as time of day, sensor type, sensor port, sensor description, status and many others. Scripts can be written in a variety of languages including bash and perl.

Sensor Controlled Relay
Sensor Controlled Relay can switch on/off another electronic device. Up to 8 optional external relays or included control outputs can be configured to control external equipment. For example, a motion detector can turn on a light in a computer room. Options such as the length of time the light remains on after the event occurs are all user configurable.

** To protect against excessive alerts, there are numerous filter configurations on every types of notification. An alarm can be delayed for a certain period of time. There is also an option to limit notifications in accordance with specific time of day and day of week. The AKCP designed graphical interface makes time and day filter setting very easy.
