Configuring cameras to send notifications

After you have set up the SMTP server and SMS service provider, you can configure the
detailed notification settings, such as when and how the notifications should be sent.
1. Go to Camera > Notification > Camera Notification.
Notifications
Description
Enter a short description of the provider.
Select an SMS type: either SMTP or HTTP.
For SMTP, enter the Email to, Email subject, and Email body
information.
You can use the following tags when filing the fields:
• {{:country_code}} represents the country code portion of the
SMS number field in the user's configuration.
• {{:mobile_number}} represents the phone number portion of
the SMS number field in the user's configuration.
• {{:message}} represents the text of the message.
For HTTP, enter the following information:
• HTTP URL: the HTTP or HTTPS URL to contact to send SMS
messages, for example, https://myprovider.com/sendsms).
• HTTP method: either Get or Post.
• HTTP/S Parameters: configure all the parameters and values
required by the provider to send the SMS message. You can
use the same tags that were available above for SMTP. If you
select the Encrypt check-box in a parameter then the value will
not be displayed in clear-text when viewing the configuration.
The value will be sent as entered to the remote server which is
why using HTTPS is recommended.
For example, if your provider indicates that to send a message
the syntax should look like the following:
https://smsserver.com:8080/sendsms?api_id=1234&user=user
&to=<phone_number>&text=<message>&password=<passwd
>
Then the settings might be:
HTTP URL: https://smsserver.com:8080/sendsms
HTTP Method: Get
Parameters:
api_id id
user user
to {{:country_code}}{{:mobile_number}}
text {{:message}}
password password (the encrypt checkbox should be
selected so this will not show in clear-text when viewing the
configuration)
