Requirements
Camera's using this interface must support email event notifications.
Your Patriot license must include the "Email Receiver" and "Standard Media" modules.
Task Setup
An Email Task must be set up in receiving mode with the "Standard Media" format selected as the receiving message type.
Camera Setup
Cameras must be setup to send event emails to the receiving email address specified in the Email Task and to send emails in the format specified below.
Email Format
Event emails must be sent with the body of the email in the following format:
client=<client-no> zone=<zone-no> type=<type-no> url=<url>
Note: Only the client-no is required - the others are optional.

A single image attachment is also supported.
Viewing Alarm Events
When responding to a Standard Media alarm, the Camera button will be displayed on the activation details screen. Clicking this button will show a list of events related to the activation. If there was an image and/or a URL in the event email then these will be displayed.
Verification images can only be viewed during the activation itself.
