The Email notification feature allows you to receive screenshots from the door phone when different events occur. To configure this feature, you are required to fill in the SMTP server address which varies by the protocol that the server adopts.

Tip

You need to enable Email as the action to execute for different events before receiving email notifications.

Encrypted SMTP

Default Protocol

The default protocol is SSL(Encrypted) and the default port is 465. For the Encrypted SMTP, the SMTP server address is smtps://smtp.gmail.com.

TLS/STARTTLS Protocol

When the Encrypted Gmail’s SMTP server uses TLS/STARTTLS protocol, the port should be changed to 587, so the SMTP server address is smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587.

Note

If the encrypted SMTP server uses a different port, the SMTP server address will be smtps://smtp.gmail.com:port.
The configurations may be different for different SMTP servers.

Unencrypted SMTP

The default port is 25 and the SMTP server address is smtp://smtp.gmail.com( Or smtp.gmail.com).

Note
