This is what has happened to me I don't mind so much. Mainly because the dvr was so cheap and I wanted something simple to start with. I know what to look for now. The main upgrade I'm looking for is in record quality, but I keep finding different ways to measure this. Does anyone know for sure if FPS and PPS and IPS are all the same? Or what PPS and IPS stand for?
I have noticed that if more than one motion sensor is triggered at the same time the email only has access to the first one triggered. Does anyone know if this can be fixed/setup?
My DVR does use Video Viewer, and your right. It seems that the emails don't contain any JPEG's, but use an ActiveX control to log into the DVR and view the event.
This is better then nothing and saves space on the email account:)
It seems that FireFox doesn't work to view the attachment. When I use internet explorer to view the .htm file, it works fine! I just need to allow the active x control to install, and login as the admin!
I think the issue was with the SMTP servers I was trying to use. I found one that now allows the email to be sent, but the email and the attachment sent don't work. The attachment is a .htm file. Is this the issue that the support team is working on?
My new CPcam DVR with firmware "1241-1012-1033-1018-M3-6C1B" has the option to send jpeg images via e-mail or ftp. Has anyone been able to get these options working? I set the smtp server address and email username and password, but the email fails to send. I think this might be an issue with SSL settings. All of my e-mail accounts need SSL enabled but the DVR doesn't have an option to do so. Could this be the issue?
