Hey together,

i have the following NVR in use with about 40 cams:
iDS-9664NXI-M8/X

I have configured record on motion. It works, but i also want to send email alerts on motion (email is working too), but just off hours. Lets say it should record on motion 0-24 hours, but only send E-Mail alerts during 6pm and 4am.
Does anyone know how to achieve this, or is there any workaround i can do?
On NVR i can just set recording and alerting for both at the same time. I cannot seperate it.

One way i was thinking about is to record continously and set motion detection just for mail alerts. But this will need a huge amount of disk space...


Thank you very much
 
Perhaps another useful nugget for someone.

I don't send emails from my NVR so I can't test this... it doesn't sound right to me, but according to this very old thread, if you adjust the "Arming Schedule" for the hours you want email, event recording will still take place 24/7... if you haven't already, try adjusting the schedule and see what happens...

HikVision NVR email alerts -- only after hours


Maybe "Other Linkages" don't follow the "Arming Schedule"?
