Security Monitor Pro: Taking Snaps Periodically

Taking Snaps Periodically

Use this alert when you want to take snaps periodically (at regular intervals).  When you are monitoring a child or pet from your workplace, you can use this alert to reassure yourself that everything is fine by receiving emails containing updated snaps.  This alert is also ideal when you have a website that displays an image taken by your webcam.  You can use this alert with the upload feature to refresh the image at regular intervals.

1. Select a device by clicking on its preview window.  Click the Camera Monitoring Options button for the selected device.
2. Click on the Monitoring tab.
3. Under Run Alerts, select the option After every.
4. Specify the time in hours, minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss) under the After every option.  This is time after which you want the alert to be triggered.
5. Under Which Alerts do you want to run? check the Take Snaps option.
6. Click Configure to open up the settings window.
