Mail Service Settings - Foscam FI8910W User Manual

6.9 – Mail Service Settings
If you would like to receive e-mail notifications when motion is detected, you can set up Mail Service
Settings and configure it to your e-mail address.
To get started, make sure that the e-mail provider you are using supports SMTP. As seen above, you can
send e-mails to up to 4 e-mail addresses. The SMTP port is usually set at 25 if there is no Transport
Layer Security. Some SMTP servers have their own ports, such as 587 or 465. If using G-mail, set the
Transport Layer Security to either TLS (use port 465) or STARTTLS (use port 25 or 587). The port you
use will depend on the type of Transport Layer Security chosen. You can see an example of the G-mail
settings we use above.
Report Internet IP by Mail is a very useful tool to keep enabled; this feature will send you an e-mail
when your external IP address changes. Usually if you have a dynamic IP address, this feature will let
you know when the IP address has changed so you can connect to the camera
Keep in mind that if you are only sending e-mails to one e-mail address, you can use the same e-mail for
the sender and receiver, as seen above. Also to ensure you are receiving e-mails when there is motion
detection, make sure "Send Mail on Alarm" is checked in the Alarm Service Settings page.
Note: When setting up e-mail settings, push Submit first, and then push Test if you would like to test the
e-mail settings. Test will not work unless the settings are submitted to the camera first.
