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.

For the example below, we will use Gmail. The settings can be found under Options when logged into your Gmail account. If you have a corporate mail server, you will need to consult with your IT department regarding proper settings.

STEP 1. Select ON in the pull-down menu to the right of EMAIL.

STEP 2. SSL Leave SSL turned OFF. SSL deals with encryption. Only advanced users should enable this option.

STEP 3. SMTP PORT Enter the SMTP port of your email server. Gmail’s is 465.

STEP 4. SMTP Enter the SMTP address of your email server. For example, smtp.gmail. com

STEP 5. SEND EMAIL The “from” address of your alerts.

STEP 6. SEND PW Enter the password of your sending email account

STEP 7. RECV EMAIL Enter the destination email address for your notifications. STEP 8. Click APPLY and then click CLOSE in the confirmation window.

STEP 9. Click EXIT in all menus until all windows are closed.

6.3 SYSTEM INFO

This window will allow you to view system information - including the firmware version, MAC address, and serial number of the system.

Check this window to determine whether you need to update to a newer version of the firmware. Updating the firmware is covered in Section 6.4 System.
