Instant Email Alerts if Activity Detected

I am not sure about this one...I have this set up in locations that are outside and get triggered easily. My inbox would be crazy overloaded if I had this enabled. Not sure of the capabilities on that area...sorry not much help.

Sure, this system supports email alerts under motion detection mode, you can set it from the DVR, thanks.

Hi Elena, In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

Yes, I have done it. You have to give them each their own email sign-on and that will identify which one is "active" at the time for updates.

In order to get an email notification you will have to have a paid monitoring service through Alarm Grid. The cheapest plan is $20 a month but very much worth it. Using the free total connect. 2.0 app you can view, arm, disarm your system, the wifi module is definitely worth it but it will require the paid monitoring service through Alarm Grid.

Yes. It will send alerts to one or more configurable email addresses if the temperature falls above or below configurable temperatures over a configurable amount of time. I have mine set to alert if the temperature is above 90 deg F for more than 15 minutes or below 40 deg F for more than an hour. The alerts are not sent from the device itself, they are sent from the My Total Connect Comfort website. Alerts can also be sent if communication is lost between the thermostat and the website or if a change fails to be sent.

Not directly, this is an Insteon sensor (no logic or processor), so you would need at least an Insteon setup and something that could be programmed to response (in your case send an email) to the events this sensor would send. I run an application called Indigo on a Mac, which is configured to respond to events mostly logging them, and depending on time and where an event happens turn lights on and after a period of inactivity turn them off.

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

If you have nearby room service availability that button will alert them that you need immediate service. It works for me occasionally

Yes, there are two types of alerts. App notifications and email.You may be able to use email to SMS if your carrier provides it. Pictures come through, but the text shows up in HTML.http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/

Put the camera on motion detection and will email you of any motion. Don't keep the camera on all the time leave it on motion.

You can set it to record on at schedule an take photos by motion detection on a schedule and it has an option to send an email... I have not used the email though so not sure how that works but there is a place in it's setup to enter the information for that.

Negative. Even with the app running the audio is poor. Hope this helps. As a side, the email alerts do not work properly. Even with a strong Wi Fi signal, I continue to get many false motion detected email alerts. Belkin even switched out all my cameras but still have the same problem.

The e-mail alert is ready to be sent within a few seconds. The only time I have ever had delays was when the camera could not get to the mail server due to internet problems.

You can set it up to take a motion activated snapshot and send it to your email.

2 ways to do this. 1. Type the camera IP address in the internet browser address bar and put the settings directly into the camera. 2. Use the TrendNet software to connect to the camera and pass the email settings to the camera. Either way, you don't need a computer to remain on for the alerts. Just make sure your host email provider accommodates this feature...check their forums.

Not by themselves. I use an ISY controller to generate email or text notifications in response to events.

Yes, The email alerts are quite delayed and I found them to be unusable for actual notification purposes if you wanted to react to the detection.
