C-MOR offers the possibility to send an e-mail to a registered address when different events occur. C-MOR keeps you up to date when something happens. Even if you are far away. If a camera fails, you will be notified by C-MOR. C-MOR will also notify you when this camera is available again. You can find further settings for e-mail alarms in the submenu „Camera configuration – E-mail alert“ in this manual.
At System Administration under configuration e-mail alarm, it is possible to enter your email address. All emails generated by C-MOR will be sent to the address defined. After having entered and saved an email address and relay host it is possible to send a test mail to check if the configuration is correct.
Since C-MOR Version 4.11 PL10, it is possible to enter more email addresses. You have just to separate them with a comma.
Besides this function there is the possibility to enter settings for the SMTP authentication. SMTP authentication covers the incoming mail server, username and password that allow the sending of emails over the mail server of your provider. Many email providers use this technology to ensure that the sender of an email is authentic. Another setting which may be required by your provider is SSL encryption. Simply enable this feature by clicking on the checkbox. Make sure the select TCP-Port is set correctly. The standard port for not encrypted emails is 25 (SMTP). The standard port for SSL emails is 465.
If a camera fails the following mail will be sent by C-MOR:
C-MOR can be configured to send an Email when the motion detection takes effect. Furthermore C-MOR can be configured to attach a short video-clip to the Email that shows the event that triggered the alarm.
You can directly watch these clips of the Email. Just click on the video. You can also right click the video to open a context menu. Then choose Preview.
You can find more information about Email alarm under Camera-Configuration.
Note
Please keep in mind that your Email-box can run out of space very fast if C-MORs motion detection takes effect. E.g. by moving trees through wind or rain and snowfall.
