I'd like Zoneminder to send me an email every time one of my cameras detects motion, with a still image of the triggered camera as attachment.

How do I do that?

More specifically:
- How do I define and configure the motion detection alarm for a specific camera? Right now it doesn't look like the Modect Fucntion generates even an event.

- How do I set up Zoneminder to send me emails with attachments? Filled up the 'email' tab, gives an error (can't send email)

Thanks

Hello Presi,

The basic steps are all in the ZoneMinder WIKI.

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Documentation

- setup zone(s) for your camera's
- Activate Email notification (Option menu) (activate perl method if you don't have an MTA installed)
- setup filter and activate filter to run in background. (filter the events youll like to receive on E-mail)

Goodluck, Christo
