System Messages

Open the System Messages dialog to view information on the services running on the camera. For every service, up to 10 success and 10 error messages are displayed.

Notes:

Up until software version 3.x, the system messages are stored in the camera's RAM. As a result, all system messages are deleted in case of a power failure or when rebooting the camera.
Use the features of the Error Notification dialog to set the desired notifications in case of errors (live image, camera LEDs, audio message, FTP, e-mail, phone call, IP Notify network message).
