Email/SMS notification on camera disconnect

Post by SyRenity »

Hi.

Another one, which was most probably asked, but I couldn't find it as well. Is it possible to set the ZM to notify regarding any unreachable cameras, as soon as they disconnect?

BTW, the search on forums seems a little broken - it returns me the same results on different queries?

Hi.

Just noticed that this thread was moved to "Feature Requests", which is great, as I wanted to request it myself.

Regardless, this feature would be very helpful, as there no other way to know that camera is off line, otherwise then checking periodically. This can lead to missing important recordings, as sometimes the system left running unattended for weeks (especially if auto clean set), and this problem will be discovered only after something already happened (and which wasn't recorded :)).
