M&J Video received a call from an old customer yesterday. We installed a video security system about 3 years ago in her small business. The CCTV system included a digital video recorder (DVR) and 1 camera to watch the back door. At the time we installed the system she did not have DSL service in her area. Hard to believe, but there are still some spots in Ventura and Oxnard that don’t have high speed Internet service. This particular business is the Ventura Harbor area. DSL has now become available to her and she wanted to link her DVR to the Internet. The DVR already had the ability to connect to the Internet ,so it was simple to run a CAT-5 cable to the DSL modem. The back door was used by the manager to enter and open the store for the days business. The owner wanted the DVR to send her an e-mail alert to her IPhone when camera detected motion. We programmed the DVR and now she is sure the store is opened on time daily. Most DVRs have the e-mail notification function in the network settings of the main menu.
