Setting up e-mail notifications for the SecurityProbe camera

Security cameras made the news in a big way last weekend, when a security breach at the Newark  Liberty International Airport led to the discovery that one of the TSA surveillance cameras had been broken for six days leading up to the incident. Six days!  Now that gives a real sense of security in these uncertain times, doesn’t it?  The breach, which authorities were notified of by an alert passerby, caused a 6-hour lock-down  and possibly cost the airport over $100,000, according to a report in The Star Ledger.  Thankfully, this breach apparently was caused by a man walking his girlfriend to her flight and not a potential terrorist, however, it certainly exposed the gaping holes in the security protocol at one of the busiest airports in the US.

I have no idea what sort of back-up notification system for camera failure the TSA has set-up, but after reading about the Newark incident, I wanted to find out what kind of notifications are available for cameras connected to the Ravica SecurityProbeRead more
