E-Mail Alerts - Q-See QC Series Quick Start Manual

Email Alerts
STEP 8 Sending Email
Your NVR can send e-mail notifications to up to three email addresses. While only one recipient can be set up within the
NVR itself, additional recipients can be specified using PSS. Please see the Remote Monitoring Guide or the PSS manual
for specific instructions if you need to add more than one receiving email address.
Depending on your NVR's settings, the system can generate heavy email traffic. For that reason, we recommend creating
a dedicated email address specifically for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own email system
A. Click on the Network Settings button at the bottom of
the window. Ensure that the box to the left is checked
before clicking on Email in the Network Settings
window.
B. Fill out the required information. Gmail settings are shown:
SMTP Server – smtp.gmail.com
Port – 465
Anonymous – Leave this unchecked for Gmail. Private mail
servers may allow you to send e-mail without a user name
or password.
User Name and Password – Enter the email address along
with the password you used to create the account.
Receiver– This is the email address that will receive the
alerts.
Sender – This is the ID that will show up in the "from" field
on the e-mail. It can be the sending email address, or it can
be a nickname, such as the model or location of the NVR.
Title – Putting in a distinct subject line for your email alerts
will help you organize and keep track of the email traffic
generated by your system.
Attachments – Enabling this allows your NVR to send emails
with snapshots attached.
Encrypt Type – Select SSL for Gmail. Other services may
vary.
Event Interval – This will limit the number of emails sent
within a specified time period. The minimum delay is 3

(such as corporate mail server) you should consider using a free e-mail provider. However, because many free email
services allow only a limited amount of email traffic we specifically recommend using Google's Gmail service with its
higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert emails to go to a different account than the one sending them. This will
ease your management of these alerts. Other services will have different values and these can be found in that provider's
Options settings.

e-mail alert. Alerts can be triggered when motion is detected, if the
hard drive fails, or video is lost.

manual be we present some highlights here:
