Snapshot from
--- Select snapshot stream source which can be “Primary stream” , “Secondary stream”
and “ Mobile Stream” . For smaller pictures you can select from “Secondary stream”.
2.
Snapshot Duration--
The number of seconds that the camera should keep sending emails with attached
image after motion stops.
3.
Snapshot Frame Rate
-- The number of frames per seconds that the camera should keep sending images
at when an alarm is triggered. If “Snapshot duration” had a value of 4 and “snapshot frame rate” had a
value of 2, you would be getting 2 images each second for 4 seconds in a row, meaning 8 pictures total
for each motion detection event.
4.
Alarm Interval--
This is the number of seconds for which the camera should stop sending e-mail alerts
after the first set. Setting the time to 0 disables this feature. It 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.
5.
SMTP server name--

Notes:
Email settings can be obtained from your e-mail service provider. An SMTP email account is
required – these are very common if you use POP3 email and some IMAP servers. A true IMAP server will
not work.
Some ISPs won’t let you use any other SMTP server other than their own (British Telecom BT is a good
example of this).

465

Yes

such as Yahoo can typically not be used for sending unless you subscribe to optional paid
subscriptions like Yahoo PLUS.

the same as sending email. You can also send email to several receiving email addresses, up to
3 total.
