Configuration

log_level (optional)

Bunyan log level to use, default is INFO

cooldown (optional)

Used to specify a "cooldown" for alerts. This means, when an alert is seen, a certain amount of time must pass (cooldown timer) before another alert is sent.

• cooldown.time time (in seconds) to wait after an event is seen to send another alert
• cooldown.per_camera if the cooldown is done on a per-camera basis, default is false (all cameras)
• colldown.summarize send a "summary" of all events seen during the cooldown period after the timer has finished, default is false

schedule (optional)

A schedule or schedules to use when deciding whether or not to send an alert. Schedules are done using the Working Hours module.

• schedule.times a key-value mapping of schedule name to the actual schedule (in WorkingHours format)
• schedule.channels a mapping of channel id to schedule to use
• schedule.default the default schedule to use if a schedule is not specified for the channel

If a channel doesn't match a schedule, it defaults to no schedule which is effectively 24x7 alerts.

The SMTP server config for the Q-See QT DVR to use.

This object is passed directly to the QSeeAlertsServer constructor.

pushover (required)

The pushover credentials to use when sending the alert.
