Email Setup will be dependent on your specific email provider. In this example, we will be using Gmail. You will need to access your camera through the Web User Interface. For more information on how to access your camera on a computer through the web UI, click here
Once logged into the web UI, click the Settings option, select "Network" and click SMTP (Email) Select your email provider from the list provided. This will automatically generate the SMTP server address, recommended SSL Encryption type, and port number for your email server.
SMTPServer: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port: 465 will be for an SSL Encryption Type. If you would like to use a more secure encryption, use port number 587 and select a TLS encryption type.
Enter the email address you will be using in the Username field as well as the Google generated password in the Password field. To generate an app password, access your Gmail account, and click on Manage Your Google Account.
Make sure 2-step Verification is enabled, and in the search bar enter App Passwords. Enter a name for the app and click Create.
Note: Notate the generated password provided by Google. This will be the password used to set up email notifications in your device.
Sender: *This should be your Gmail email address as shown above
Encryption Type: TLS (Recommended) or SSL if using port 465.
Subject: The default title for the notification will be Channel Name and Event Type.
Name 1 2, 3: The Name of the recipient receiving the email notification.
Address 1 2, 3: The Email address of the recipient receiving the email notification.
Once done click "Apply". Click the Test option to test the connection. A test email notification will be sent if set up correctly.
If the email test notification is not coming to your inbox, please check any Spam, Junk, Filtered Folders. etc. for the notification. Every email service provider may differ drastically but we recommend adding these specific email addresses in your contacts or mark them as not spam.
If the email test is successful, you will then just need to enable email notifications (Send Email) option to be sent upon motion detection or other features that support this option.
