Awesome, thank you for the reply. Do you know how to successfully setup email settings on one? My log shows that the sending of the email keeps failing when motion triggers the email event. I found a page that said I have to use the IP address of the SMTP server of my email provider. I did that but it still doesnt work. Can you point me in the direction of a quality DVR for a good price that is more updated? Provides email functionality of video clips, has an easy way to export the video if needed for law enforcement.
