Ntp; E-Mail - Q-See QC SERIES Setup Manual

NTP

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer or other device
connected to the Internet. Utilizing this feature allows your NVR to keep an accurate time as
well as automatically adjust to Daylight Savings Time changes.
NTP was set up as part of the Startup Wizard process, but you can always return via the
Advanced Settings area of the Network menu to make adjustments.
Server IP - The default server used to
obtain accurate time is the Windows
server, but you can manually enter in
another.
Port - This is the port that the NVR
will use to contact the server.
Time Zone - You will need to set your
time zone. For North America these
are:
Eastern Time Zone = GMT-5
Mountain Time Zone = GMT-7
Alaskan Time Zone = GMT-9
Update Period - This is the frequency at which the NVR will check the time with the
server.
Synchronize - Clicking this will cause the NVR to update the time immediately.

E-MAIL

Several NVR functions allow you to send out e-mail alerts when specific events occur.
Configuring this feature lets you set the NVR up to send out alerts via e-mail to a single
recipient. You may need to contact your e-mail provider or IT department for some required
information.
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.
