Barnoe69 0 Posted September 30, 2016 I own a ANNKE HDCVI Security 4x Camera System and ive set up 2 cameras to alert me over email if movement is detected. This works fine, but all i get is an email saying movement detected, time and date??? I was hoping for a photo or something :/ I know i can read the email then log in to my camera remotely with my phone, but if the email takes a while to come through i will miss it does anyone have the same system, and can this be done?

Barnoe69 0 Posted September 30, 2016 As ive bought it and set it up its a bit late for a change :/ The trouble when buying CCTV its a mine field! some say full HD when they are clearly not, and proof of the pudding is the night vision i suppose. How you supposed to know how good it will be before purchase. there are no branded tech that anyone can look at, ive never heard of any of them. i went for the one that sounded like it did what i needed and got good reviews. i used your link and it said i can trust the reviews.

Boogieman 1 Posted September 30, 2016 How you supposed to know how good it will be before purchase. Are you joking? That what forums like this are for....to ask BEFORE you buy. There are tons of posts with the same exact questions...why cant you return it? where did you buy it from? What is the link to the product? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully this looks like it is a dahua rebranded CVI system so it should be ok..you should be able to do what you want...someone with a dahua dvr can help you.
