Let me specify,
I have a AVTECH DVR 782, I can view it remotely. I have 4 cams not physical motion detectors. I've set up the mail setting, I've enabled it. I get no email. I checked the logs and I see motion detection but no alarm. In detection i set the alarms to high. from the OSD I turn everything to on.
I'm thinking that emails aren't sent for software motion detection.
