NO RECORD: As the name suggests, the DVR will not record anything from this
channel while NO RECORD is selected. We suggest only using this
setting if you're absolutely sure you don't want to see what's going
on during these times.
Setting the Schedule
The fi rst step in setting the schedule is choosing which channel you'd like to set the
schedule for. From the CH drop-down menu, select the channel you'd like to set the
schedule for.
If you'd like to set the schedule for more than one channel at a time, you have two
options. One option is to manually enter the same information for each channel
individually.
The other option is to choose ALL from the CH drop down menu. Selecting this will
apply the settings in the schedule to all channels on the DVR. If you want to set a
base schedule for all channels, and then confi gure them individually, select ALL, set
your basic schedule, and then fi ne tune channels one at a time. Changing the ALL
schedule will overwrite any schedule already set for individual channels.
Copying and Pasting Schedules from day to day
Rather then enter the same schedule information multiple times for each day you
wish, you can use the COPY function.
To copy the schedule settings from day to day, select the day you'd like to copy from
on the fi rst drop down menu. Then, select the day you'd like to copy the schedule to
from the second. If you'd like all days to operate on the same schedule, choose ALL
from the second drop-down menu.
Using the arrow buttons or the mouse, highlight the COPY button, and left click or
press select. The schedule for the selected day will be copied to the day(s) you have
selected.
26 Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
Email: Choose whether you want the email function enabled or disabled here.
Channel Select: You can choose which channels will trigger the auto-email function.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): A form of security encryption often employed on the
Internet. Contact your email provider to learn if they support or require SSL to be
enabled. If you're using Gmail, set this to ENABLE.
SMTP Port: The port your email server receives data through. For the vast maority of
email servers, you'll need to use port 25 - however, some exceptions to this rule exist.
Again, contact your email provider if you're unsure. For Gmail use port 465.
SMTP Server: The outgoing email server you're using. Remember that many email
servers aren't compatible with the automatically generated emails that the DVR cre-
ates. For Gmail, use smtp.gmail.com
Sender Email: The address the email will be sent "from". Often, you'll need to use
your username @ your server to verify it's you (or, rather, your electronic representitive)
sending the email. For Gmail users, this will be your_username@gmail.com
Sender Pwd (Password): If your email provider requires a password to send mail
from your account, enter it here. Gmail users, this will be the same password you use to
access the gmail account.
Receiver Email: The email address you want the automatic emails to go to. We sug-
gest creating a seperate email account for this, as there may be many email alerts,
depending on how much motion occurs around your DVR and how long your Inter-
val setting is.
Interval: How often the DVR will send auto-email alerts for subsequent events. Basi-
cally, the DVR will not send another email after an event until this time has elapsed,
and will then do so once another event occurs thereafter.
TEST: Sends an email immediately, so you can check that your settings are working.
If you don't receive an email, it might be that your Receiver email address has a spam
fi lter - check the Junkmail folder, the automatically generated emails often wind up
in there.
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button. 51
