# Configure Email Notification for Gmail

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.

> Enable Email as the action to execute for different events before receiving email notifications.

This article takes R20A as an example.

## Specify the SMTP Server Address

### Encrypted SMTP with 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.**

### Encrypted SMTP with 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.**
