When I saw it come in I was so incredibly happy. I Applied the settings and for the 5000th time I ran out side and waved my arms in view of the camera.Ībout 25 seconds later my email account received and email from my DVR with a. jpg when ever it detected motion on my camera 1. I have FULL recording on so that it would only send me a. Since im using gmail I HAD to set my devices DNS settings to 008.008.008.008 RECV Email: will also work by using a regular account as a send email Send Email: (my email is hosted by Google Apps) SO now my device has the latest WORKING firmware version that NightOwl had developed for this device before it was discontinued.Īll of my configuration settings were still there. When the device rebooted the firmware version was now V4.5-V101030 (the 101030 was the original last set of numbers between the last two V's). then attempted to upload from that and it WORKED!. So I changed ALL numbers between all the V's to 120216. Then I got the idea that it was looking at multiple numbers in the upload and was requiring them ALL to be higher numbers. After it rebooted I looked at the firmware version and it hadnt updated. It seemed like it was going to accept it by saying it was upgrading. So I changed the first instance of "120215" to 120216 (one number higher than 120215. I looked at my DVR's firmware model and it was a V4.5-V120215. So I assumed it had to be an issue with how the firmware was named (it looked for a higher number in the name to allow an upgrade). txt for uploading that firmware my DVR said that there was no new updates available. Once it was downloaded the version number of the firmware they use is different than Bunker Hill so this presented a challenge. (side note): The netviewer application can be downloaded from nightowl via this link " " Direct Link fore the firmware file is " ". I then found the firmware download button at the bottom and downloaded the firmware that they offer for that product. It doesnt even attempt to work.Īfter HOURS of trying this and that, i have found a solution. There is a problem in the firmware version: V4.5-V120215 where the email alerts simply do not work. Well upon buying them you may noticed that you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT get the email alerts to work. At $299 (sometimes $199) its not really that bad of a deal. If you shop at Harbor Freight then you have likely either considered buying one of their 4 Camera DVR systems or Bought one.
