I installed a Bosch DVR-440 Advantage line Digital Video Recorder at a customer’s factory. The customer had requested that he be able to log onto the DVR and view live streaming of the Cameras. This request is fairly simple you just need to set up port forwarding through the router, network the DVR then install the I Phone app etc. I set it up and ensured he could view the cameras, after this I was looking through the menu system on the DVR and noticed potential functionality that may benefit the customer.
I set up the DVR to send emails and performed successful email tests to my email account, after this I set up the cameras for motion detection with a function that allows an email to be sent when a camera detects motion. I then tested this functionality, to my surprise not only did I receive the email but also an attachment of the motion video clip. What a cool function!
I discussed my findings with the customer. I set up a time schedule that limits motion detection to specific times and intern the email being sent. The customer is extremely happy with his purchase which happens to be at the cheaper end of Bosch’s CCTV product range.

I have also set up the Bosch email functions to be triggered by an input. I connected an output from the alarm panel to an input on the DVR and programmed the DVR to email pictures when the alarm system goes into alarm. To explain the benefits of this system I will use the following scenario below.
“Imagine a warehouse with perimeter and movement alarm protection and full CCTV coverage with this Alarm / DVR/ Email connection. Intruders break in and begin to load product this triggers the alarm and dvr to send multiple images every time an alarm input gets retriggered. These images are being sent offsite so even if the intruders find the dvr and take it there will still be images for the police to assess. I think this is what your talking about if not and you have found further benefits please let me know?
