Configuring E-Mail Notification Settings
The E-mail Notification action is an effective way to monitor remotely. Whenever an alert is triggered, either on motion detection or at regular interval, Security Monitor Pro immediately sends out an email to you. You can also choose to include JPEG photos of the activity that triggered the alert, within the e-mail body.
To configure E-mail Notification settings, click Camera >> Manage Cameras >> Edit Camera >> Actions >> Configure button of e-mail notification action 
Specify a valid e-mail address in the From and To fields. Using a comma (", ") you can specify more than one email addresses in the To field. Examples of valid addresses are address@company.com or "Friendly Name" <address@company.com>.
Enter the Subject and the Comment. Every message will automatically include the date and time.
You can include a JPEG photo with the e-mail, and select the number of photos (by default, 3 photos). The number of photos that can be included is in a range of 1- 5.
Note: To send e-mails you must have an Internet connection. If your computer is connected to the Internet via a proxy, you must configure the proxy settings in Security Monitor Pro.
Testing E-mail Settings
To test the email alert, you can use the Send Test E-mail option after specifying the valid e-mail addresses in the From and To fields. You can use the e-mail log to diagnose e-mail related problems.
Sending E-mail using an Outgoing Mail Server
Click Camera >> Actions >>E-mail Notifications >> Configure >> Configure Mail Settings.
All ISPs should provide configuration instructions for sending and receiving e-mail using an e-mail client like Microsoft Outlook. The instructions also contains the address of the outgoing (SMTP) mail server.
To send e-mails using an outgoing mail server, select the Configure Mail Settings option. In the Outgoing Mail Server option, specify the name or address of the outgoing mail server. Most outgoing mail servers use Port 25 for communication. If your ISP's outgoing mail server uses a different port then specify it in the Port option.
You can select the Outgoing mail server requires a secure connection (SSL) to ensure the security of your e-mail. If the outgoing mail server asks you to log in before sending e-mails then check the Outgoing mail server requires authentication option. Specify the login information in the User Name and Password options.
The E-mail Notification alert lets you send e-mails at regular intervals, with an attached photo. After this alert is selected and configured, you can start monitoring. When a motion is detected, Security Monitor Pro will send an e-mail notification.
