Hi there,

Is it possible to configure the Zoneminder to send e-mails when a camera fails? In the Zoneminder older versions this is "partial" possible, when the camera fails and back online later the Zoneminder sends me a mail to alert me, but in the new Zoneminder version this isn't possible (I can't configure any filter to do this...). Any help? Excuse me my poor English, hehehe...

it may be possible by creating a Filter that does this. First setup EMAIL in Options Email and the camera is in MODECT or NODECT then make a filter that does:
Cause > equal to > Signal
then select > Email details of all matches.
In theory a failing camera will throw a Signal message as Cause of a event, activating the filter which sends the email.

So camera set to detect or be triggered for an event.
set up EMAIL in the Options
create a filter to detect the Cause "Signal" and send the email

Hope this helps you find the solution.
