Rayvision / iCatch x11 DVR - Email Notifications Not Working

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just got an iCatch x11 DVR; most of the features seem to work great except for e-mail notification.

 

I can't seem to get the unit to send out an e-mail even though I've configured all the settings.

 

In fact, I've put a sniffer on the LAN port and it does not seem to send out e-mails when motion is triggered.

 

So how do I get e-mail notification to work?

 

Do e-mails get sent out immediately, or are they processed at a later time?

 

I've also upgraded to the b92 firmware but it has not resolved the issue.

 

Thanks.

I think the e-mail functionality is broken

 

1. If SSL is available on the server, it will attempt to negotiate SSL, however, SSL support doesn't seem to work with my primary mail provider.

 

 

2. If I use Yahoo as the mail server, I'm getting an invalid CRLF line:

Gmail's mail servers work - but the e-mail is missing the "TO" header.

 

Sheesh.

Are you e-mailing yourself or to another receipient?

 

If it's to yourself, it could be using the "FROM" address - I noticed in the email there is no TO address in the header.

 

Very strange huh?

 

 

 

This is what I've observed so far:

 

1. Using rackspace.com's mail server, it does not work at all. The DVR has trouble negotiating STARTTLS (it will attempt SSL regardless - no option to disable SSL)

 

2. With Yahoo (Rogers), it has a CRLF issue with the attachment.

 

3. With Gmail, it negotiates STARTTLS (encryption) correctly, but it is missing the "TO" header.

 

I've tried a "System Restore" to delete all the settings but that did not work.

 

Perhaps I have a dud unit?

Do you pay for your email with Yahoo? Yahoo does not off free smtp servers for email....

 

What port did you try Gmail with?

 

 

Yes - my ISP (Rogers) uses Yahoo mail servers for SMTP.

 

Google, I used 587.

like dpzle said

just set the "SMTP server" for "smtp.gmail.com" and Port for "465" this is the only way gmail will work

With port 465. the DVR is still sending email messages without the TO address set.

 

Are you guys sending alerts to a different e-mail than the one listed as sender?

 

I have 4 notifications addresses setup, but none are getting notified (except the sender address). Here is the exact e-mail to Google:

looks like the base64 is corrupt.

 

that line with the error, if you leave the "t" but remove the rest, you get the attached image.

it is obviously missing some encoded strings, perhaps just that one line.

so it seems the DVR's SMTP mail program is not encoding the base64 correctly, or its an issue with the source image on the DVR. maybe try an updated firmware?

BTW go here if you want to try it yourself:

http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp

select decode, and export to binary file, change the extension to .jpg.

Thanks Roula, I really appreciate how you post the firmware on US Security Solution's website - it's good to see a company support its customers.
