How to get Alarm images in alarm emails
The Zoneminder documentation for Options => Emails gives a list of tags that one can set on a filter so that the selected tags are entered in the email. The page also contains the warning "Todo - check if any other tags have been added".
I wanted to see the alarmed emails, where the alarmed area is marked in the alarm colour set in the zone definition. The documentation for available tags (Options => Emails) does not give a tag for this. I therefore inspected the code in zmfilter.pl
. This file, normally found in /usr/bin/
, controls the checking of filters and the sending of emails. The perl code defines a function substituteTags
. Here all currently used tags are to be found (in Zoneminder 1.36.33). After a certain amount of reading through the code, I found the tag I was looking for: %EI1A%
.
One happy user!!
