Auto Email Setup

You can configure the DVR to automatically send you email alerts when it detects an alarm event.

Please note that this function is not compatible with all email servers - as the email the DVR sends is procedurally generated, many email servers misidentify it as spam. We recommend setting up a free webmail account with a compatible email provider, such as Gmail, which is compatible with the DVR’s auto-email system.

Step 1

In the DEVICES menu, navigate to the ALARM submenu.

Step 2

Select EMAIL SETUP from the ALARM submenu.

Step 3

Here, you’ll need to enter all the required information about the email account that you would like the DVR to use when sending emails.

If you’re unfamiliar with the proper values for any of these fields, please contact your email provider (or read their documentation) to learn these values. We are unable to offer any answers regarding this - the values and settings can vary dramatically from one email provider to the next.

Note that highlighting a field and pressing SELECT twice will make a keyboard appear onscreen, allowing you to enter alphanumeric characters.

Step 4

Once you’ve entered all the required information, the information in the fields should look something like the example shown (below). We stress that this is an example only - the information you’ll need to enter will vary depending on your email provider.

In this example, the DVR has been configured to send email via G-mail (a free web-based email service which is, at the time of writing, compatible with the DVR’s auto-email system) to an address at Yahoo mail.

Step 5

Once all your information has been entered, choose APPLY to save your settings. Once they are successfully saved, you should see the message “Saved Successfully!” as shown below.

Choose EXIT to return to the live-viewing screen.

Tips and Tricks:

•We strongly suggest testing the email setup once it is configured. This simply involves clicking the test button, located in the lower left corner of the menu.

•Some email servers may incorrectly interpret the automatically generated emails as spam. If you’re not receiving the emails properly, check your spam folder, or the filtering settings your email provider uses.

Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
