SMTP (E-MAIL)

The camera can send out its own e-mail alerts - with snapshot attachments. If the camera is
connected remotely to an NVR, these e-mails will be in addition to those that the NVR creates.
The camera's e-mail address should therefore be different than that used for the NVR to avoid
confusion.
NOTE! Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail
alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address
specifically for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own
e-mail system (such as a corporate mail server) you should consider using a
free e-mail provider. However, because many free e-mail services allow only a
limited amount of e-mail traffic we specifically recommend using Google's Gmail service with
its higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the
one sending them. This will ease your management of these alerts.
SMTP Server – This the SMTP server IP
name
Port – This is the port your mail provider uses
User Name and Password – These are for
the sending e-mail address and were
set up when you created the e-mail
account.
Title – This is the subject line of e-mails
generated by this NVR.
Receiver – This is the recipient e-mail
account.
Attachment – This allows the e-mail to
include one or more snapshots as
attachments
SSL Enable – The system supports SSL encryption when this is enabled.
Interval – This adjusts the amount of time that will pass before the NVR sends out another
e-mail. The interval can be set from 0 seconds to ten hours (3600 seconds). If you are
getting too many e-mails, you may wish to increase the length of the interval. Using
this feature also helps prevent overloading your outgoing e-mail server.

UPNP (UNIVERSAL PLUG 'N' PLAY)

As described in Section 2.4, UPnP allows networked devices to communicate with each
other. UPnP, like DHCP, allows the router to assign the camera an IP address on its network.
and will automatically forward the ports for outside communication. In addition to the HTTP
(port 85) and TCP (port 37777) communications protocols, UDP and RTSP allow the camera
to stream data and communicate with other devices.

BONJOUR

Bonjour is Apple Inc.'s version of UPnP to enable easy network connectivity.

3.4 EVENT

Like your NVR, your IP camera can detect motion events and when it is being blocked
or masked. You can configure these features on your camera in the same manner as on
your NVR and alerts can be e-mailed and/or alarms triggered. Using these features on the
IP Camera would not interfere with the operations on the NVR and some users prefer the
duplication of event detection as a backup in case the NVR is affected.

The operation and setup of these event monitoring is identical to that on the NVR itself. See
Section 3.7 of the User Manual for full explanations.

MOTION DETECTION

Clicking on Setup next to Working Period
will open up a schedule allowing you to set
the periods when the camera will actively
detect motion events. You can set six periods
each day for the camera to be "on alert" using
the start and stop times at the bottom. Click
Save to preserve your changes and they will
appear on the schedule when you next open
the window.
You can enable a motion alert to trigger several one or more events - video recording, e-mail
alerts and snapshot images. Videos and snapshots are sent to an FTP site - which must be
set up by the user. Some camera models allow the insertion of a Micro SD flash memory
chip which can be used to store these images "onboard" the camera for retrieval using the
PSS software. Video recording is controlled by the Recording Schedule (see following
pages) which overrides the settings here. If the camera is set to record on motion detection,
those recordings will only take place during the time period(s) configured in the Recording
Schedule.
