Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any pointer you could provide.
I have spent dozens of hours trying to figure out the notification email function upon motion detection - but to no avail. Basically, I don't get any email notification upon motion detection but rather, I'd get an email every 10 minutes (almost on the minute).
Finally, I came upon this post that pretty much said it is a software issue with no workaround. (http://nightowltechsupport.com/article.php?id=247)
Quick background on the system:
- I am not sure what the brand is. User manual simply says
"Standalone Digital Video Recorder", "Premium DVR 4, 8, 16 Channel Models", and "Made in Korea". There are no branding or markings on the DVR itself
- I have 8 wired cameras connected to the DVR, which has a 2TB drive. Recording, remote live view and playback all work well
- I use CMS 2.22.16 on PC for viewing. iPhone uses mViewer. Both work well
- DVR software version is 2.21.13. I am not sure exactly what exactly the software is, but do see an option for "upgrade"
I am wondering if you have experienced a similar problem and have had success in fixing it?
I thought about looking into changing out the operating system of the DVR, but not sure where to start or if such package (open source?) is even available. Worst case scenario is to look into changing the DVR itself that does not have such bug (and that the motion detection notification works properly).
Again, your input is greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays.
