<![CDATA[Too many e-mails are being generated]]>When the motion detection detects a change it takes and then emails up to 5 photos per minute. My email server is being overloaded. This includes turning off monitoring manually on leaving and entering.

Many thanks

It is important to report an alert as quickly as possible.

If you want to reduce the amount of e-mail then you can simply reduce the Motion and Noise Sensitivity settings from Tools ] Options ] Monitoring.

The size of the JPEG image that is part of the e-mail is only 3K. If you have enough bandwidth then it should be easy for you to receive these e-mails. There is a setting to reduce the JPEG quality to further reduce the size of the e-mail, which will result in a faster e-mail delivery. This setting is in the Take Snaps Settings (Tools ] Options ] Monitoring ] Snaps Configuration).
