Configuration: Network: Email - Swann NVR16-7200 User Manual

English
We suggest using Gmail as your email client - it's quite easy to
set up an account and use it solely for the NVR. We've tested
the email procedure with Gmail, and it does work.
Other email servers may not work correctly - many interpret
the procedurally generated email from the NVR as spam and
block the mail from being sent.
For the Auto-Mail function to work correctly, the NVR will need to
be correctly configured with the details of the email servers and
addresses you want to use.
Enable Server Authentication: If your outgoing mail server
requires authentication, ensure this box is checked.
User Name: The username for the outgoing email account.
Password: The password for the outgoing email account.
SMTP Server: The name of the SMTP server of the email provider
that you have selected. Here are the SMTP server names for Gmail
(Google), Yahoo Mail and Windows Live Mail (Hotmail):
Gmail (Google):
Yahoo Mail:
Windows Live Mail (Hotmail):
You'll need to setup an account with one of these email providers.
All offer free email accounts. To signup, visit the email provider's
website:
Gmail (Google):
Yahoo Mail:
Windows Live Mail (Hotmail):
SMTP Port: The SMTP port used by the email provider of your
choice. The SMTP port for Gmail users is 465.

Enable SSL: Whether the email server you're using requires a
secure link. This should be left on if you're using any of the preset
email servers.
If you want to use your ISP's outgoing email, then you'll need to
contact your ISP to learn the correct values for the other fields
(such as the correct SMTP server, SMTP port, SSL requirements and
so on).
Sender's Address: The address you're sending the email from.
This will be the username you've set up for the email server you're
using, followed by "@" and then the email server. For example:
"youraddress@gmail.com" or similar.
Select Receivers: You can select up to three different receivers to
send an email to.
Receiver's Address: The email address you want the NVR to send
emails to. This can be any email address you like, however, bear
in mind that the NVR might send a large number of automatic
emails under certain conditions.
Enable Attached Picture: When this is selected, the NVR will
attach three small images to each email alert (where applicable).
For motion-based email alerts, this will be an image of whatever
triggered the motion detection.
Interval: The length of time that must elapse after the NVR sends
an email alert before it will send another.
Short Interval settings are likely to lead to huge numbers of
alerts being sent by the NVR - perhaps even several emails for
one event (if that one event lasts longer than the interval setting).
On the other hand, a long interval setting might mean you'll miss
a specific update that you needed. There's no right answer, and
you'll probably have to fine-tune this setting to get the results
you're after - it'll be different for everyone's unique circumstances.
