The i-Catcher Alert application is designed to meet the alerting requirements for i-Catcher Console.  It provides the alerting functionality when i-Catcher configurations of more than 1 camera are required.  Alert manager is a stand-alone application and connects to the i-Catcher Console over your network, although it can run on the same machine as the console if necessary.

Alert manager constantly monitors the console's alerting requirements, alerts are held in a queue on a first come first served basis.  Alert Manager is able to send alerts via Short Message Service (SMS) text messages to mobile phones, to email accounts, and to upload images to your website.  The functionality is increased over the stand-alone alerting features, mainly due to the large number of alerts the manager potentially has to deal with.

The screen shot to the right shows the i-Catcher Alert running. The window on the left shows the alerts waiting in the queue ready to process, while the window on the right shows details of the alerts already processed (the log).  The operation of the i-Catcher Alert can be manually stopped at any time, and required jobs can be deleted from the current queue.

i-Catcher Alert only connects to i-Catcher Console so if you download the console application, then why not download i-Catcher Alert as well.
