12.1- Server Settings
A
“server” in this case is an Email account or FTP site, either of which must be configured in order to send
or save notifications, snapshots or short video recordings. While either method can be used, only Email is
needed for notifications.
12.1.1- Mail Settings
Allows for email notifications to be sent based on various triggers
Motion/Alarm
Select these check boxes to enable sending Email notification when Motion or Alarms
are detected.
Note:
When NVR Record mode is Schedule, and Mail Schedule is configured for
Alarm Mail, Motion Mail or Both, these check boxes will become checked and cannot
be un-checked unless Mail Schedule is changed to No Mail, or Record Mode is
changed to Manual, or Alarm Trigger.
Mail Server
Enter the SMTP server used for sending emails.
Corporate
Exchange
Accounts
Contact the network admin for server information
Personal Email
Accounts
Enter the SMTP server used to send emails.
Example: smtp.gmail.com
Note that the SMTP server must support and be configured
for POP3. Refer to the email provider for details on using
POP3 SMTP.
SMTP Port
Default port 25 may be used for most unsecure or anonymous accounts. When using
a Secure Connection, most servers use port 465 for SSL or port 587 for TLS. Refer to
the email provider for details on using their SMTP server.
Corporate accounts require contacting the network admin for port information as the
ports above may be blocked within the company’s firewall.
Username
Enter the name used to log into the SMTP server being used to send emails.
Example: [email protected]
Password
Enter the password used to access the email account SMTP server.
Sender’s Mail
This is used for notification purposes only and does not need to be the email account
being used to send emails. We recommend that a name be used that identifies the
NVR sending the email.
Example: [email protected].
Note that some SMTP servers will strip this information and replace it with the
Username of the account regardless of NVR configuration.
Receiver’s
Mail
Enter the recipients email address.
Bcc Mail
Enter an additional Email address to send notifications to. Note that this is a Bcc; the
main recipient will not see this address on their email.
