Geovision Email Alert Notification Setup
 Geovision Surveillance Systems are capable of sending email alerts to notify operators that a motion detection event occured in one or more security cameras connected to your Geovision system. These setup instructions cover how to setup Geovision to send email alerts using your own SMTP email server. In order to enable this feature, you must have an SMTP email server available to use.
