How To Set Up Email Notifications

To set up email notifications you must have an email address. We recommend using a Gmail address, as they are free to set up.

1. The SMTP Server for Google is: gmail.smtp.com / The SMTP Server for Yahoo is yahoo.smtp.com 
2. The Port is: 465 or 587
3. The SSL Check is: Enabled
4. The Send Address is your email address
5. The Password is your email password
6. Please input up to three emails that will receive alerts.
7. Test your settings.
8. If successful, you will see the following message:

Please be aware that a normal recording schedule will overwrite any motion detection scheduling, and that any e-mail alerts must be manually enabled.

If you do not want to input your personal email address, you can easily create a new email through Google, specifically to monitor your DVR alerts. Input the new email as the Send Address and your normal email into one of the Receive Address fields.
