     /var/app $ exit
    
  6. You can leave the system connected:

     docker-compose up -d
    

DVR settings

  1. Use the iVMS-4200 Client to access the remote configuration of the device.

  2. Go to Event > Email and configure the fake-smpt-server as SMTP Server (default port 1025). You can enter any source and destination address, for example:

     Sender Address: <hikvision> hikvision@dvr.local
     Receiver Address: <server> hikvision@server.local
    
  3. Activate in the events that the Linkage Action: Email Linkage.

Check operation

Run a MQTT Client to monitor the topic (replace <server_id> with the IP Address of your MQTT Server):

docker run --init -it --rm efrecon/mqtt-client sub -h <server_ip> -t "alerts" -v

# Result
alerts {"type":"Motion Detected","device":{"name":"Embedded Net DVR","serial_number":"******"},"camera":{"name":"Camera 1","number":"A1"},"occurred_on":{"date":"2020-01-06 14:51:02.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Europe\/Madrid"}}

You can also see the logs of the docker containers to see what is happening:

docker-compose logs -f

# Result
