I'm having trouble setting up my alarm. I checked email alarm and added sender and receiver email address and SMTP port and server, but no email.

Hi. This is what workout for me:I typed under SMTP server box the following: smtp.gmail.comUnder SMTP Port box : 587For Security Protocol box: STARTTLSProvide to the adequate boxes yor email account and your password. To verify that it is working press the TEST button and you should receive as far as I recall a notification in your email. Good luck!

If you are using EasyN app on iPhone this may help, make sure port is 25 or defult and sender and recipient 1 are the same email (your email). Then in the main menu (were you move the camera, like a big star) scroll right to left and look for "motion detection" click ON and "Send mail on alarm" click ON. Your are now ready. My best to you.DaLi

First, look under "Alarm Service Settings." Make sure two boxes are checked, "Motion Detect Armed" and "Send Mail on Alarm." Next, go to "Mail Service Settings." Make double sure you have the correct email addresses. If you're using gmail with two-step verification, it won't work. If so, make another gmail account and keep the login simple... email and password. Check that you actually typed smtp and not stmp - many people (including me) have done this. I'm only familiar with gmail. If that's what you're using, make sure you use port 465 and turn on TLS. Hope that helps. I've setup 3 units and have no issues. Good luck.

Howard, I found this camera to be unusable and sent it back. I bought the dlink DSC 5020L and it works great...Mac OS compatible too.

I received an email with the directions, have you checked your email? I agree though it is VERY annoying that the directions arent in the package.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

The email function used to work for me, back when the device worked reliably, now it doesn't work at all, much less alert me by email. This thing is junk.

Can't speak specifically to AOL however I have had no success whatsoever in attempting to use Gmail to send or receive email. Supposed to work however ...

My experience with this is you have to use a 3rd party company, like alarm.com. They provide the app you download.

just open the window prior to setting the alarm. once contact is broken they will not set it off.

I'm not sure if the software natively supports email. If not, you can use your favorite scripting language. There is a Python driver for the device here (http://neon-society-electronics.com/?p=44) which I have used before, and a Python email library here (https://docs.python.org/2/library/email-examples.html). It shouldn't take more than a couple lines to assemble a working system.

Yes, you can set up a notification by email but I haven't done it. I agree with Robert Showalter that you can't miss the beep on failure. I've had two drives die, recovery was straight-forward although the documentation is opaque.

To configure the email notifications bring up the web interface (enter your camera's IP address in a browser) and sign in as the administrator. Click on the "Administration" button and then the "Configuration" button on the left. Click on "E-mail" and enter your email information. To test the email configuration click on the "Tools" button and then on "E-mail Test" if all goes right, you'll get a test email with a snapshot from the camera. Once the email is configured correctly click on the "Configuration" button again and then click on "Motion Detection". Set up the area that you want to be notified if there's motion detected and the sensitivity (mine is set to 62%) - if it's too high you'll get flooded with emails and too low you won't catch motion - play with it to get the right setting for you. Be sure to click on the "Enable" button to turn on detection and then click on the "Save" button. That should do it. I have mine on my porch to detect if a package is delivered or if anyone comes to the door - if the motion sensitivity is set too high I get emails whenever a shadow or cloud goes by. The web interface software doesn't provide for recording video (at least that I've found). You can setup FTP info (the "Upload" button under "Configuration") but that will just push snapshots to the site you enter. The camera came with a management program that might allow recording video - I never bothered to play with it and so don't know. If you setup your internet router to allow the camera to be accessed from outside your home you can use apps on your phone/tablet to view and record (I use IP Cam Viewer on my Android tablet).

You can use the date book to set up an alarm. You can add an alarm to any timed event. I often use this function. I create an event called "wake up," set the time, and turn on the alarm. It takes less than a minute to set up

Mine didn't work out of the box. The email customer service was excellent. They refunded my $$ fast.

It has an alarm-setting mode but I think it is more along the line of an alarm clock configuration. It can't do the same as a computer but if you have a yahoo email account, look for the calendar folder on the left side of the screen and experiment with that, which can do what you're looking for. Hope the best for you!

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

Yes,The email alerts are quite delayed and I found them to be unusable for actual notification purposes if you wanted to react to the detection.
