Configuring E-Mail Notification Frequency

Depending on the volume of motion, alarm, or video loss events detected by the DX8100, the number of e-mail notifications can be far too many to manage effectively. To keep the number of e-mails sent by the DX8100 at a manageable level, the e-mail notification frequency can be adjusted. When events have been detected, e-mail notifications can be sent out in intervals from once per minute up to once every six hours. If no events have been detected during the specified frequency interval, no notification will be sent. Each e-mail notification will include information about the first event detected during the interval, the last event detected during the interval, and a still image (in JPEG format) of the last event.
