Pelco DX4104 Series manual Mail Setup

MAIL SETUP

The DX4104 mail feature sends an e-mail text notification to all designated users if an event is detected. The notification feature must also be configured. Refer to Notification Setup on page 63 for more information.

NOTES:

•The mail feature is configured and operates independently from the emergency agent feature. When configured, the emergency agent feature sends an emergency text report to the designated computer on which the Emergency Agent application is installed. Refer to Emergency Notification Setup on page 65 for more information.

•To use emergency e-mail notification, the DVR must be connected to a local area network (LAN) that maintains an simple mail transfer protocol (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. Consult your network administrator for information on configuring e-mail notification on your local network.

•The DX4104 supports SMTP-based e-mail clients: for example, Google Gmail™ is not supported.

The mail feature has the following guidelines:

•Notification: Turns the notification feature on and off.

•TLS: Select ON to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) feature. By default, TLS is not enabled.

•SMTP Server: SMTP server IP address or host name. Supports up to 24 characters including 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, a to z, A to Z, numerals 0 to 9, and special characters.

•SMTP Port No: SMTP port. The default TCP/IP port used for SMTP is 25. Supported values are 25 and 1025 to 65535.

•User Name: Name of user to be notified. Supports up to 24 characters including 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, a to z, A to Z, numerals 0 to 9, and special characters.
