Dahua motion detect emails

[ilkevinli 0]

I currently have my camera setup to email me a snapshot of any motion detected. However I also get 2 additional emails for a total of 3 for every motion detected. Below are a copy of the 2 unnecessary emails. Does anyone know how to stop them ? Thanks.

Alarm Input Channel: 1

Alarm Start Time(D/M/Y H:M:S): 18/10/2012 08:58:01

Are you getting three duplicate emails, or three with a series of images?

No I get 3 separate emails. The 1st email contains just text and states Alarm Start like the post above. The 2nd email contains the snapshot which is what I want. The 3rd email contains just text and has Alarm End just like what's listed above.

 

Thanks

Anyone ? I can't be the only one that uses this feature.

I turned off the email alert on my Dahua because I got hit with motion every couple seconds.

I got 3 as well, I believe its normal. You can just setup an email filter for the ones that don't contain images.

Do you guys get bombed with motion alerts? It seems like every time there is a breeze it would move the shadows of trees on my driveway and alert.

Multiple emails per motion detection incident is normal with Dahua cameras. I was getting one too many emails, at times averaging 50+ per day at times. I have turned off email notification. I have since purchased PIR motion detection units, but need time to run cables for this. I think this will yield better motion detection than the 'overly' sensitive camera based detection & more relevant emails notification.

Motion detection alerts on exterior cameras are a bad idea in general. Even with PIR, big moths will set them off.

I did find running Vitamin D has cut down on the false positives but still gives me notifications without additional hardware.
