12.2.8 Configuring Email
Purpose:
The system can be configured to send an Email notification to all designated users if an event is detected, e.g. an
alarm or motion event is detected, etc.
Before configuring the Email settings, the DVR must be connected to a local area network (LAN) that maintains an
SMTP mail server. The network must also be connected to either an intranet or the Internet depending on the
location of the e-mail accounts to which you want to send notification. Additional, the Preferred DNS server must
be configured.
Before you start:
Make sure you have configured the IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, IPv4 Gateway and the Preferred DNS Server
in the Network Settings menu. Please refer to Chapter 12.1 Configuring General Settings for detailed information.
Steps:
1. Enter the Network Settings interface.
Menu > Configuration > Network
2. Select the Email tab to enter the Email Sett interface.
