Enabling Send Email per channel
Since setting up the email to the DVR is done and test email was successful, we now need to enable the feature to the channels we want to receive alerts from.
- Go to ALARM > Motion.
- Choose the channel you want to configure.
- Make sure Enable is Enable.
- Set the sensitivity to your liking. Remember that the higher number will make it more sensitive and lower number will make it less sensitive.
- Now, the DVR still needs to detect movement. Having that said, select the Setup button and make sure to cover the areas with red boxes that you want to receive alerts from.
- Enable Send Email and make sure it has a check.
- Click on Save once you are done.
- Re-do the steps to other channels you want the feature enabled.
