SMTP (email) settings for mini NVR

Tip: Recorder sends email notifications only when motion detection is enabled.

When setting up email/SMTP details, the recorder requires various fields to be filled - most of them can be found in the help section when you login to your mailbox from your web browser. 

  • SMTP Server: address of outgoing mail server for your mailbox
  • Port: port number on which SMTP server is listening, usually 25, 587 or 465
  • Anonymous: select if your mailbox allows anonymous SMTP connections, most popular mailboxes won’t allow it
  • User Name: your email address from which the recorder will be sending messages
  • User Password: password for the email you provided in "User Name"
  • Recipient: email address to which you wish e-mails to be sent
  • Sender: email address from which recorder will be sending messages
  • Theme: subject for emails that will be send
  • Accessories: enable it if you want recorder to attach a snapshot from the camera to your email
  • Encryption type: NONE, SSL or TLS depending on your mailbox settings, most common is SSL 
    Tip: by default if port is 25 you have to select NONE, for port 587 - TLS, for 465 - SSL
  • Sender time: time interval in minutes (how often you would like for the recorder to send e-mails)
  • Email Enable: select it if you want emails to be sent, deselect if you do not want email notifications
