How do I set up email alerts on my HDIP recorder?

Configuring your recorder to send e-mail alerts will allow you to notify up to three recipients when an alarm event occurs. Due to the potentially high volume of these e-mails, AvertX recommends using a dedicated e-mail address specifically for alert notices.
