Can I configure it to send me email alerts via MY OWN SMTP email server? I don't want to rely on 3rd party server for alerts.

There are no settings for SMTP as this device works via a cloud service hosted by eyezon.com - you need to setup a free account with them (then add your device's MAC address) - there is where you configure all alert settings - which go to either an email address or sms phone number. Once this device obtains an IP address by dhcp (or manual config), it connects automatically with its cloud server with no further config.

im scared if the company ever go bankrupt too. i hope somebody is smart enough to hack the device so it doesnt depend on eyezon.com....

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.

There is no subscription fee to get motion email alerts. You may check this link: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=8133

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).

I really can't tell you how to work the system in an email, but it is very simple to use. A printed guide comes with it to make it as simple as can be or you can go to their website. You do need an electrical outlet to plug in to as well as a battery back up for power failures. Hope this helps!

Hi Peter,Thanks for your reply. I will try the email retrieval sequence when I visit my dad who is the Presto user. He is 89 and not a computer user so this has been a great way to connect him to the world of email. Excellent product for the non-computer generation.Regards,Stan Levy

no it sends message to email on motion detection but i found it easier to run from the computer as it functioned better, was using ispy as it is a freeware and helped fix the issue with the delay in recording.

Not by itself. It's made to hook into your Insteon network. It can send a message to nearby light switches or you can get an ISY or other such home automation controller which can send email (or perform any number of actions) when a message from the detector is received.

I have gotten numerous emails throughout time saying there was trouble connecting. I am not 100% sure, but I believe you would get an email if it cannot connect for a period of time. I know 100% sure if you try to change the temp from the app and it does not go through you will get an email. This is an excerpt from an email I got recently when my router went down: The following Alert has occurred:The thermostat Family Room is not communicating with My Total Connect Comfort.Alert occurred at: 12/29/2013 07:10:56 UTCLocation Name: HomeThermostat Name: Family Room I have gotten numerous emails throughout time saying there was trouble connecting.

Negative. Even with the app running the audio is poor. Hope this helps. As a side, the email alerts do not work properly. Even with a strong Wi Fi signal, I continue to get many false motion detected email alerts. Belkin even switched out all my cameras but still have the same problem.

Yes, you can set both low and high temperature alerts and it will email you and/or send push notices to your smart phone. I also have installed multiple X-10 wireless motion sensors in our homes and the will also email and send push notices when motion is detected. They only cost $29.00.

Yes. It will send alerts to one or more configurable email addresses if the temperature falls above or below configurable temperatures over a configurable amount of time. I have mine set to alert if the temperature is above 90 deg F for more than 15 minutes or below 40 deg F for more than an hour. The alerts are not sent from the device itself, they are sent from the My Total Connect Comfort website. Alerts can also be sent if communication is lost between the thermostat and the website or if a change fails to be sent.

It sends me txt and e-mail alerts to my phone. Other than that I do not know. My tech guy set it up. It does work exceptionally well though.

you can set up multiple network folder locations. You can email to multiple email addresses. AND any user on the network can actually scan into a web browser running on their machine so they dont need to email or scan to the folders if you want options. Lots of nice little features in the software/drivers/firmware provided.

Yes, you can rotate and change position and even preset to a desired position. I don't get the email alarm for some reason. Otherwise it's working good.

With The appropriate supervisory controller - I.e an ISY994i - this can be configured to send you an email or SMS when the switch is activated. If you want to filter that for when you're away from home that's easy, too. The thing to understand is that this Open/Close sensor is only a sensor. It does not have that capability by itself and must be coupled with a smart device. Be careful - once you have that smart device you'll be automating everything in your home.
