The Image Buffer is used when you want to send still images from the cameras via email or popup when an alarm occurs.

In case your edition supports the map feature, the system can display the image preview in the camera status on the map (See the Surveillance Client manual).

 

By default this option is disabled to save server resources.

 

•Activate the snapshot buffer: Activate the Image Buffer and the server will keep the images in memory for X seconds so that they can be sent along with the email. If there are many cameras related to an alarm, it is advisable to increase the seconds because when sending the email there might not be enough time for these images to be attached to the email.
