Camera
Here you can see a list of cameras that are
connected to the NVR .
Note: The NVR automatically assigns cameras
to channels in the order they were connected.
Therefore, if there is a particular sequence
that you want for your cameras, you will have
connect them one at a time. Or you can go to
Menu -> IP Camera -> Edit screen and order the
cameras manually.
IP Address: Displays the unique IP number and
port number that is assigned to the network
camera.
MAC Address: The Media Access Control
address. This is a unique code which nothing
else should share. You can't change this one
it's hard set when the camera ships out.
Name: All cameras are by default named
"Camera1". It's very important
when there are multiple cameras with different IP addresses connected on the network). Also, whilst a camera IP address may
sometimes change if the NVR or router was rebooted, the assigned camera name will always stay the same (unless if you change it).
Channel: The channel to which the camera has been assigned.
Email
If you want the NVR to send email alerts as alarm
events are detected, then you'll need to configure
an outgoing email server for the NVR to use, and
choose an email address for it to send to.
We recommend creating an account with Gmail
(www.gmail.com) specifically for the NVR. These
instructions assume you're using a GMail account.
If you're using a different email, see
Advanced: Email Settings" on page 36
details.
Enable SSL or TLS: Enable.
SMTP Server: The SMTP address of your email
server. There are 3 preset options to select from:
smtp.gmail.com, smtp.live.com or smtp.mail.yahoo.
com
Other: Allows for custom definintion of an outgoing
email server. See "Network: Advanced: Email
Settings" on page 36 if you want to use an email server other than ones provided. Recommended for advanced users ONLY.
SMTP Port: The SMTP port of your email server. Gmail's is 465 (this value will self-populate)
Sender Address: The email address you want your NVR to send alerts from. For example, your_email@gmail.com
Sender Password: The password of your sending email address.
Recipient Address : Enter an email address for the NVR to send alerts to (usually your personal email address).
Attach Picture: When selected, the NVR will attach a still image to better illustrate what has caused the alarm/alert state.
Interval: The minimum amount of time that must elapse after the NVR sends an email alert before it can be triggered again.
Test: To check if you've set up email alerts properly, click the Test button. If your connection and email details are ok, you will see
a message on the NVR screen confirming the email was sent successfully. After a short delay, you will also receive an e-mail in
your inbox (Recipient's Address) informing you that email alerts from the NVR has been set up. If the test is unsuccessful, please
check your sender's address/password and recipient's address(es) and try again.
UID: This is the NVR's Unique IDentifier number. We will use this UID to configure the SwannView Link app & software and connect
to your NVR. You can click the Send UID button to receive an email containing the UID (that's assuming your email details are
configured) or alternatively just make a note of the UID on a piece of paper or save it to a text file using NotePad application on your
computer.
Send UID: When you've finished testing your email, click the Send UID button to send the NVR UID to your email address
(Recipient's Address) so you can use it for access from SwannView Link on your PC etc.
