Function Description

Connection Prole It is possible for the e-mail to be transmitted via the Ethernet

network or dial up connection. This setting presumes that

a modem has been connected or congured and the unit is

connected to a LAN or WAN and allocated a valid IP address.

Mail Server This is the IP address or DNS name of the SMTP Server that the

e-mail from the unit will be sent to. The SMTP server will then

forward this onto the recipient.

Note: You must ensure the DNS Server address in the Network Settings is correctly congured to

be able to use DNS instead of the IP address.

Recipient This is the e-mail address and display name of the intended

recipient of the e-mailed image.

Reply to This eld must be congured if the recipient is to reply to an

e-mail. The unit does not accept e-mails so this must be a valid

e-mail address.

Sender These optional elds indicate the source of the e-mail notication.

If the elds are left blank the unit will use the system name & DNS

name to create a sender name.

E-mail reports These are the conditions under which the unit will transmit and e-

mail; when the unit has been reset, when an alarm zone has been

triggered, if any of the video inputs has detected camera failure, if

VMD has been identied on any of the enabled video inputs.

E-mail Logging A log can be created for every e-mail transaction that the unit

issues.

How to Protect or Un-protect Images

Images stored on receipt of an alarm can be automatically protected within the corresponding alarm

conguration page.

In addition it is possible to protect images that are stored on the hard disk and have not been

protected, or increase the time period allocated for protecting the image.
