About SMS
With SMS notifications, you can instantly get notified on your mobile device when your surveillance
system requires attention. To use the SMS notification feature, you must connect a 3G/USB modem to
the server on which you have installed your system.
Your system can automatically send SMS notifications when:

Motion (see "Motion detection & exclude regions" on page 95) is detected

Events occur. You can select individually for each event whether you want to receive an SMS
notification or not.

Archiving (see "About archiving" on page 126) fails (if an SMS notification has been selected
as part of the archiving properties (see "Archiving" on page 134)).
Configure SMS notifications
To configure SMS notifications, do the following:
1. In the Management Application's Navigation pane, expand Advanced Configuration, expand
Notifications, right-click SMS and select Properties.
2. Enable the use of SMS by selecting the Enable SMS check box.
3. Specify required properties (see "SMS properties" on page 147).
4. Choose a schedule profile to associate with your SMS notifications.
Note: Your system comes with two simple schedule profiles, Always on and Always off, which you
cannot edit or delete. If these do not meet your needs, you can create any number of customized
schedule profiles for each camera. You can reuse a customized schedule profile for more than one
purpose if you want to.
