BLOCK/ALLOW LIST
You can also improve security by controlling remote access to your DVR using the IP Filter. If
you Enable Trusted Sites, ONLY those on the trusted list will be allowed to log into the NVR
from those locations, regardless of having correct user name and password. If Blocked Sites
is enabled then no users from those IP addresses may log in. Up to 64 addresses may be
entered.
STEP 4. Click Add.
STEP 5. Enter the trusted IP addresses
into the field at the top of the window
and click Add.
Repeat for additional addresses and then
select OK to save your list.
• If you want to block all users from an IP
address, then select IP Section from the
pulldown and enter the first two blocks of
numbers for that IP address.
Trusted Users
STEP 1. Select Block/Allow from the list
on the left of the Network Settings
menu.
STEP 2. Check the Enable box.
STEP 3. Choose Trusted Sites.
Blocked Users
This is set up the same way as Trusted Users. You only need to create one list or the other.

E-MAIL
Several DVR functions allow you to send out e-mail alerts when specific events occur.
Configuring this feature lets you set the DVR up to send out alerts via e-mail to a single
recipient. You may need to contact your e-mail provider or IT department for some required
information.
• You can add two more recipient emails using the Web Client software as shown in the
Secton 3.2.
NOTE! Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail
alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address
specifically for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own
e-mail system (such as a corporate mail server) you should consider using a
free e-mail provider. However, because many free e-mail services allow only a
limited amount of e-mail traffic we specifically recommend using Google’s Gmail service with
its higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the
one sending them. This will ease your management of these alerts.
SMTP Server – smtp.(example).com
Port – This is the port your mail provider uses
User Name and Password – These are for
the sending e-mail address and were
set up when you created the e-mail
account.
Receiver – This is the recipient e-mail
account.
Sender – Example: QC DVR
Subject – This is the subject line of e-mails
generated by this DVR.
Attachment – This allows the e-mail to
include one or more snapshots as
attachments
Encryption – The system supports SSL and
TSL encryption.
