The
“Alarm Interval”
allows you to designate a time (in seconds) during which new emails are suppressed. For
example, if you want to avoid a flood of emails, you could set this time to 3600 seconds so that after a motion
detection event you wouldn’t get any new emails for at least 1 hour.

Note that if you have a typo in any of this information, the camera would have no way to let you know about
that. You just won’t get emails. To summarize, Gmail requires:
SMTP server name:
smtp.gmail.com
Port:
465
Authentication:
Yes
Secure SSL connection:
Yes
Username must include:
@gmail.com
Other mail servers have their own unique settings and requirements. Some web mail services such
as Yahoo can typically not be used for sending unless you subscribe to optional paid subscriptions
like Yahoo PLUS.
5.
“Receiver mail address”
: Any email account can be used as a receiving email address, including the same as
sending email. You can also send email to several receiving email addresses, up to 3 total.

NOTE: It is easy to have a typo. The SMTP server name never has an @symbol. On the other hand, email
addresses must have an @ symbol.

Email Periodic Sending
Instead of using motion detection you can also use the “Email Periodic sending” menu to upload pictures at
regular time intervals.
“Email Periodic Sending”
menu is very similar to setting up the
“Email Alarm Sending”
, so it’s not explained here.
The
“Period Interval”
allow you to designate a time (in seconds or minutes or hours) during which new emails are
suppressed. For example, if you want to avoid a flood of emails, you could set this time to 60 minutes so that you
wouldn’t get any new emails for 1 hour.
