Getting started

the irisity alarm filter is built to filter incoming alarms the easiest way to get cameras and alarms into the system is to simply start sending alarms for all the nitty gritty details, please refer to the api documentation docid\ s xm gah1 jisvoadcqbz here we'll focus on the most common use cases send alarms over https or smtp send alarms to the irisity alarm filter over https or smtp (email) most cameras are supported out of the box if you run into issues, please reach out and submit a support request docid\ zssod06nxrxfyqicc15ka use https when supported when supported by the sending device, we recommend transmitting alarms over https that gives the fastest and most secure point to point delivery we also provide a flexible smtp endpoint since email sending is supported by most security devices out there find and manage your api keys and smtp credentials logged in as an account administrator, api keys and smtp credentials are easily accessible in the account settings popup click the top account node in the folder tree to the left, then click the settings cog icon next to the account name in the resulting dialog, you can easily copy and manage credentials and keys security create multiple keys and credentials for security reasons, we recommend that you never share keys and credentials with multiple parties, as well as frequently rotate them in the unlikely event that a key leaks, it will then be easy to delete that api key and only have to reconfigure a small subset of cameras and devices this is also true if you have third parties helping out with setup and installation setting up cameras and nvrs now everything is ready to start configuring cameras move on to adding cameras docid 2fq7srv7zzkezi8f smf7 to configure your first camera!
