I'm receiving too many false alarms using the motion detection abilities on my DVR. I have adjusted the sensitivity and detection areas with no acceptable results. I saw your post and thought I'd ask if you had any recommendations for external motion detectors. My DVR (Zmodo H9008UVD) a RS485 Alarm and Sensor interface. Can you provide me some recommendation on motion detectors or integration instructions? Seems like there should be stand alone sensors meant for such use, or sensors meant for other purposes (like replacement sensors for external lighting, or a cheap home alarms), or should be able to just integrate into a functioning outdoor motion sensor light if I understood the wiring better. For example I don't know how much voltage (if any) the sensor interface on my DVR can handle. --Thanks, Chris

I'm a UNIX/Linux Administrator by profession. There is nothing more I'd like to do then get to a command prompt on the DVR and do all of the config via command line and skip the GUI. I also welcome any low level tips and tricks, backdoors, hacks, etc. So, I've bought this 8 channel zmodo, H9008UVD. It's my understanding that it runs a Linux OS. Hince my comment above. I've setup motion detection recording with email alerts. I have discovered this and I don't know what to make of it. The DVR software is the same one that the q-see QSD9004 runs. In fact my user manual is almost exactly the same as the q-see manual. http://www.q-see.com/products/security- ... ductId=166 Below are the email configs I have tried. Note that I have used the comcast sucessfully on other applications. Please, I welcome any and all advice, tips, tricks, general comments... ALSO.... IS there any way I can view even a single channel of video on my #$%$#$ Blackberry? I'm on Verizon

Funny in the process of explaining a problem I come to te solution. Thought maybe the DVR was having a DNS issue reolving the SMTP server.I used the IP address of the SMTP server and the email works!
