Enabling Send Email per channel

Since setting up the email to the NVR is done and test email was successful, we now need to enable the feature to the channels we want to receive alerts from.

1. Go back to MENU > Camera.

2. Proceed to MOTION > Motion Detection.
3. Choose the channel you want to configure.
4. Make sure Enable Motion Detection is ticked.
5. Set the area wanted to detect motions with.
   • RED BOX means the NVR will sense motion on that area.
   • NO BOX means the NVR won't sense motion on that area.
6. Set the sensitivity that you prefer.
   • Slide to the right to make it more sensitive.
   • Slide to the left to make it less sensitive.

7. Click the gear icon.
   

8. On the Settings window, go to Linkage Action.
9. Make sure to put a check on Send Email. Click on Apply to save the settings.
10. Proceed to Arming Schedule.
    1. Set a schedule when the NVR will send alerts.
    2. Click on Apply then OK to save the settings.
    3. The image below shows that on Monday, it is set to send alerts the entire day if there is motion because the time is 00:00-24:00 (24hr format).

11. Re-do the steps for other channels.
