Email Tab

This tab allows you to set how your DVR will send out e-mail alerts. You will be able to send e-mail alerts to three addresses.

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.

Other Settings

Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. Doing so can cause you to lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-network device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the IP address changes.

Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.com. Create a domain name, user name and password before proceeding. DynDNS.com also offers a similar free service. This is covered in-depth in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

CHAPTER

If you do not have your own e-mail system, please set up a free account which the DVR can use to send out alerts before proceeding.

For the example below, we will use Gmail. The settings can be found under Options when logged into your Gmail account.

Clicking on any of the fields will bring up the virtual keyboard allowing you to enter the data. The virtual keyboard is capable of handling upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols. Click the ENTER button to enter your input or ESC to exit the field without applying any changes.

Select the box in the DDNS field to enable DDNS. You will then enter the user name, domain name and password you created into the appropriate fields. You can also select the interval in days at which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP address has changed. Intervals range from every 30 minutes to once a day.
