Pelco's Sarix Cameras and Security System Integration

Steps to Send SMS and Text Messages from Pelco's Sarix Cameras and Security Systems with PageGate

Send Text and SMS Messages from Pelco's Sarix Cameras and Security System
PageGate can be easily integrated with Pelco's Sarix Cameras and Security System by using PageGate's GetMail interface.

GetMail gives PageGate the ability to receive an email and translate that in to an SMS, page, update to a web API, etc, and Sarix Cameras have the ability to send an email when an alert needs to be delivered.

First, we'll need to configure the GetMail interface to accept messages.

1) Right click on the PG Admin shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator'
1a) If prompted by the UAC, allow the process to continue.

2) Go to Interfaces - GetMail - Settings.

3) Check Enabled.

4) PageGate will accept messages addressed to the domain referenced in the 'Local Domain' field.

For example, if PageGate is installed on a system whose internal IP is accessible from the Sarix Cameras, you could use the internal IP address of the PageGate server in the 'Local Domain' field. If you do so, you would address email to PageGate as @

You can also create an email sub-domain or domain and redirect its A and MX records to the PageGate server. For example, let's say we have the domain 'something.com'. We could create 'alert.something.com' or 'sms.something.com' and redirect it to the PageGate server. When you do, use the domain or sub-domain value in the 'Local Domain' field.

The rest of the settings aren't related to bringing traffic in to the program, so we won't need to configure anything else here.

5) Click Apply.
5a) If prompted, you do want this enabled for all of the recipients and groups.

6) Go to Program - Settings.

7) Check 'GetMail' in the 'Run on this Server' section.

8) Click Apply.

9) If prompted for credentials, leave them blank and click Apply again.

Once you have PageGate ready to receive the email from the Sarix cameras, any email the cameras send to PageGate will be translated out as an SMS. Happy messaging!
