TYPES OF TEXT MESSAGES There are two types of text messages: SMS (short message service) and MMS (multimedia message service). SMS is the popular 160 character feature used to send a text to another phone. MMS is similar but the user is allowed to attach a media file such as a photo or sound file.

My cell phone number is I want to send a SMS message (text only) when my DVR receives an alarm notification. The address I would use in DVR mail setup is: @vtext.com Example # 2: My service provider is ATT. I want to send a MMS (text + a snapshot of the alarm camera) when my DVR receives an alarm notification. The address I would use in DVR mail setup is: @mms.att.net IMPORTANT NOTES ON TEXTING Your mobile device provider may delay MMS messages (or SMS messages) received from a device that is not a part of their service plan, or may not support image transfer as part of their MMS system. Send test alarm notifications to check this feature. Your mobile device and service must support SMS or MMS to receive texts. Check with your mobile device service provider to review your plan and determine if charges may apply for receiving SMS or MMS texts. Service providers may change access to their system at any time. Check with your service provider for the current address or if your provider is not listed below. 27

Your internet service provider (ISP) will run a connection to your location and provide you with a modem. Modern broadband modems will have a Ethernet connection in the back to allow you to distribute the connection throughout your location over the local area network (LAN). Your LAN can consist of numerous devices such as desktop computers, laptops, IP addressable devices such as game stations, blu-ray players, cell phones, tablet computers, and your DVR. To keep all of these devices organized on the LAN, a protocol called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used. One of the devices on your LAN will have a DHCP server running to assign every device a IP address when it connects. Connection can be either wired through an Ethernet jack or wireless through WiFi. Each IP address is unique to each device so they can communicate with each other and with the outside world (WAN or Internet). 29

30 The most common device to provide DHCP is the router. A router will typically connect to your modem with an Ethernet or LAN cable and provides additional jacks for connecting PCs and other internet ready devices. Routers can also have wireless access available and may or may not have one or more antennas on the back. To configure your router, go to the router IP address with your PC web browser. Some routers don t use a web page for configuration but supply a PC software program used to set configuration. Consult your router owner s manual for instructions on the best way to access. For additional detailed information on setting up the IP address for the DVR and making it available for internet viewing, see the section on NETWORK SETUP in your DVR owner s manual. 30
