Filter for NOW ?

Post by darkled »

Hello,
I just read this entire page: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/sta ... vents.html

Yet I am still unsure how to accomplish what I want.

How can I have ZoneMinder send me an email as soon as an event is triggered?
After reading that page, I am more confused.
Should I set it to Greater than or Equal To -1 minute ?

The attached image shows how I have the Email Filter configured...

It seems to be working as desired.
I will update this thread with any "fine tunning" as I gather more experience with ZoneMinder.

:)

this is what I use to send an email as soon as the event occurs. the second rule is to eliminate false events triggered by temporary signal loss from a network camera. Does not happen that often but filters out the false event.

rockedge, thank you!
Super useful!
I am going to try this out.

I realize much of this is because of my inexperience with ZoneMinder... so thank you for showing me part of your setup!

Will update ASAP!

hey guys - i am trying to figure this one out too - the problem is that if i limist to 1 result - then i am potentially missing other alarms that happened in the last minute


also - the -2 min has to be related to filter reload setting in the settings -> system
