You can configure the DVR to automatically send you email alerts when it
detects an alarm event.
Please note that this function is not compatible with all email servers - as
the email the DVR sends is procedurally generated, many email servers
misidentify it as spam. We recommend setting up a free webmail account
with a compatible email provider, such as Gmail, which is compatible with
the DVR's auto-email system.
Step 1.
In the DEVICES menu, navigate to the ALARM submenu.
Step 2.
Select EMAIL SETUP from the ALARM submenu.
Step 3.
Here, you'll need to enter all the required information about the email ac-
count that you would like the DVR to use when sending emails.
If you're unfamiliar with the proper values for any of these fields, please
contact your email provider (or read their documentation) to learn these
values. We are unable to offer any answers regarding this - the values and
settings can vary dramatically from one email provider to the next.
Note that highlighting a field and pressing SELECT twice will make a key-
board appear onscreen, allowing you to enter alphanumeric characters.
Step 4.
Once you've entered all the required information, the information in the
fields should look something like the example shown (left). We stress that
this is an example only - the information you'll need to enter will vary
depending on your email provider.
In this example, the DVR has been configured to send email via G-mail (a
free web-based email service which is, at the time of writing, compatible
with the DVR's auto-email system) to an address at Yahoo mail.
Step 5.
Once all your information has been entered, choose APPLY to save your
settings. Once they are successfully saved, you should see the message
"Saved Successfully!" as shown to the left.
Choose EXIT to return to the live-viewing screen.
Tips and Tricks:
We strongly suggest testing the email setup once it is configured. This
simply involves triggering an alarm event (via external alarm sensors or
the motion detection feature).
