EMERGENCY E-MAIL NOTIFICATION SETUP
The DX8000 can be configured to send e-mail notifications alerting users of motion, alarm, and video loss events. Users with Po wer User access
and higher can configure e-mail notification. Notifications can be sent to a single e-mail address or a group o f addresses either immediately after
an event occurs or periodically according to a predefined schedule. You can configure up to 32 e-mail groups. Up to 32 members can be assigned
to each e-mail group.
Before sending notifications, you must provide information about your e-mail server and establish what events—motion, alarm, and video loss
that you want to include in the e-mail message. Timing and frequency of the e-mail notifications must also be set. You should test the e-mail
notification function immediately after configuration to ensure your system is set up correctly.
NOTES:
• To use emergency e-mail notification, the DX8000 Series 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 notifications. Consult your network administrator for information on configuring e-mail notification on your local
network.
