Title: DCS-2130 doesn't send notification email on motion detection
Post by: Jakob on June 02, 2012, 01:43:51 PM

Motion detection is setup - and I can see in the log and on the Live Video "Motion Trigger Indicator" that this part is working.
I can also send test-emails, so the smtp is set up correct.
In the Event Setup I have a valid server and a motion triggered event with the status ON.
But no emails are sent :(.
In the log there is also no indication of the server trying.
Am I missing something - or is this not working for anybody?

And - there is no firmware beyond 1.0 for this model as far as I can see.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards - Jakob

P.S. I am using a Gmail account for smtp, port 587 and using startTLS to send with, if this could have anything to do with it?

Okay - finally figured it out! :)
I didn't have the "Media" element set up, I hadn't figured this to be the intermediary between the Server and Event items.
After creating an Email server in the Server section, an Image in the Media section and a motion triggered Event in the Event section it works :)
