Email Alerts

STEP 8 Sending Email

Your NVR can send e-mail notiﬁcations to up to three email addresses. While only one recipient can be set up within the

NVR itself, additional recipients can be speciﬁed using PSS. Please see the Remote Monitoring Guide or the PSS manual

for speciﬁc instructions if you need to add more than one receiving email address.

Depending on your NVR’s settings, the system can generate heavy email trafﬁc. For that reason, we recommend creating

a dedicated email address speciﬁcally for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own email system

STEP 9 Setting E-mail Triggers

There are several types of events that you can set to trigger an

e-mail alert. Alerts can be triggered when motion is detected, if the

hard drive fails, or video is lost.

Full explanations for setting these triggers are available in your

manual be we present some highlights here:

A. Click on the Network Settings button at the bottom of

the window. Ensure that the box to the left is checked

before clicking on Email in the Network Settings

window.

B. Fill out the required information. Gmail settings are shown:

SMTP Server – smtp.gmail.com

Port – 465

Anonymous – Leave this unchecked for Gmail. Private mail

servers may allow you to send e-mail without a user name

or password.

User Name and Password – Enter the email address along

with the password you used to create the account.

Receiver– This is the email address that will receive the

alerts.

Sender – This is the ID that will show up in the “from” ﬁeld

on the e-mail. It can be the sending email address, or it can

be a nickname, such as the model or location of the NVR.

Title – Putting in a distinct subject line for your email alerts

will help you organize and keep track of the email trafﬁc

generated by your system.

Attachments – Enabling this allows your NVR to send emails

with snapshots attached.

Encrypt Type – Select SSL for Gmail. Other services may

vary.

Event Interval – This will limit the number of emails sent

within a speciﬁed time period. The minimum delay is 3

(such as corporate mail server) you should consider using a free e-mail provider. However, because many free email

services allow only a limited amount of email trafﬁc we speciﬁcally recommend using Google’s Gmail service with its

higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert emails to go to a different account than the one sending them. This will

ease your management of these alerts. Other services will have different values and these can be found in that provider’s

Options settings.

minutes.

Health Enable – Checking this box will allow the NVR to regularly check

that the email account can be reached. You can adjust the frequency of this

check using the Interval setting.

C. Press the Test button. The NVR will check to see if it can connect to the mail

server. A message will pop up indicating success or error.

D. Click OK to save your settings before closing the window.

E. Make sure that the check box next to Email is selected in the menu before

clicking on Save at the bottom of the window to save your settings.
