E-Mail(SMTP): Use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send an email
notification when an event server is activated. The camera can be configured to send event and
email messages via SMTP.
Sender: Click in the Sender box and enter the Email address as the sender.
Interval: Enter the Email sending time interval after event occurred.
Aggregate events: Enter the number of events for Email sending. If the event numbers are
reached the setting value, Email sending is available.

NOTE
If a host name is used, a valid DNS server must be specified in the Network-Basic settings.
Port: Enter the SMTP server port number for the SMTP Server. The Port number can be adjusted
in the range 1-65535. The default setting is 25.
NOTES
- If your mail server requires authentication, click the Use (SMTP) authentication checkbox for use
authentication to log in to this server.
- Please consult with your network administrator, if you want to change the port number.

clients support the PLAIN authentication mechanism.
- Since the vast majority of Email clients support
only PLAIN or LOGIN, mail server administrators
will probably want to consider using STARTTLS to provide an encryption "tunnel" between the client
and server, to protect the user name and password.
