Email:
Choose whether you want the email function enabled or disabled here.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer):
A form of security encryption often employed on the
Internet. Contact your email provider to learn if they support or require SSL to be
enabled.
SMTP Port:
The port your email server receives data through. For the vast maority of
email servers, you’ll need to use port 25 - however, some exceptions to this rule exist.
Again, contact your email provider if you’re unsure.
SMTP Server:
The outgoing email server you’re using. Remember that many email
servers aren’t compatible with the automatically generated emails that the DVR cre-
ates.
Sender:
The address the email will be sent “from”. Often, you’ll need to use
your user-
name @ your server
to verify it’s you (or, rather, your electronic representitive) sending
the email.
Password:
If your email provider requires a password to send mail from your ac-
count, enter it here.
Receiver:
The email address you want the automatic emails to go to. We suggest cre-
ating a seperate email account for this, as there may be many email alerts, depending
on how much motion occurs around your DVR and how long your
Interval
setting is.
Interval:
How often the DVR will send auto-email alerts for subsequent events. Basi-
cally, the DVR will not send another email after an event until this time has elapsed,
and will then do so once another event occurs thereafter.
TEST:
Sends an email immediately, so you can check that your settings are working.
If you don’t receive an email, it might be that your Receiver email address has a spam
fi lter - check the Junkmail folder, the automatically generated emails often wind up
in there.
