Setting Up Email notifications in Ingress software
Introduction
Many access control software provide real time monitoring as a standard security feature. Security personnel often spend their time in front of monitors to monitor real-time events and video footages to guard against theft and maintain the security of the premises. Prior to the advent of electronic security systems, this was one of the most basic human-dependent security monitoring method that utilizes the traditional security model. This led to human errors and incompetence playing a major role in the security concerns of the access control system. Thus, a good access control system comes with an integrated automatic notification system to inform the security manager in case of emergencies or abnormal scenarios.
