6.2 EMAIL SETUP

The system can send an email notification with a JPEG snapshot for triggered events on the system. Selecting Email Setup in the Alarm Setup menu will open the Email Setup menu. Your DVR will need to be connected to the Internet - either through a router or by being directly connected to a modem - in order to be able to send out email alerts.

NOTE! Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail

alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address specifically for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own e-mail system (such as a corporate mail server) you should consider using a

free e-mail provider. However, because many free e-mail services allow only a limited amount of e-mail traffic we specifically recommend using Google’s Gmail service with

its higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the one sending them. This will ease your management of these alerts.
