theprez 0 Posted December 7, 2011 I've installed a new Swann DVR 8900 with 4 cameras connected to the internet. I'm not using the RS-485 connector for anything. All that being said, I'm confused on the "Event" section of the Setup GUI. 1) I'd like to have motion alerts emailed to a user 2) I'd like for Video Loss to be reported in an e-mail and audible tone emitted 3) I'm confused on the Event => Schedule section, its set to "H" currently. This is supposed to be continuous, event motion record and sensor record. If its supposed to continuously record already, what is event motion recording doing? 4) As i'm not using the RS485 port, I'm assuming that the Event => Sensor items should be off? The manual does a horrible job describing the features and configuration options. Tech support is about the same.... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted December 7, 2011 I hate to inform you, but your problems are to be expected with Swann and other bundled camera systems. Do you mind if I asked how much you paid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theprez 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Great ;( Luckily it wasn't money out of my pocket...It was 244.00 according to the receipt the owner provided. The CMS feature is most questionable - they can't explain what it does, how the iCENs software uses it or what IP needs to be entered into the unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
