HOW IT WORKS

Telegram Bot notifications works automatically. Connect the module to the chain after the detectors that you want to receive information about from the Telegram Bot.

The module requires an access token to the Telegram Bot. To get a token:

1. Open Telegram, in the search bar find “BotFather”
2. Run (/start) and create a new bot (/newbot)
3. Once created, get an access token, copy it.

HOW TO TEST

1. Download from website and run Xeoma. Make sure you are using Xeoma in Trial mode or activate your Xeoma Standard license. Please email us in order to request a demo license to test Xeoma.
2. Add a camera or wait while Xeoma adds cameras found in your local network.
3. Add the “Telegram Bot notifications” module to the chain after the required modules.
4. Open the settings of the Telegram Bot notifications module and paste the token into the Bot access token field, after that you’ll see the Bot access password.
5. Copy the Bot access password from Xeoma and paste it to the bot in your Telegram app. There can be several users subscribed to the same Bot, but the password only needs to be inserted once, for the first user.
6. In the Message text field, write macros or your own text that will be sent to the Telegram Bot. For example, the %PERSONS% macro for the Face recognition module will send all the information stored in the face database. The full list of macros used in Xeoma can be found here.

7. Check the “Attach images” box if required, set the sending interval and click OK.

Done! Now you will receive messages in the Telegram bot when filters with information on specified macros are triggered.
