Outgoing Email Server

Configure the Outgoing Email Server to receive Motion notifications through email.
Prerequisites:
1. Create a DDNS account, and enter the DDNS information into the camera's DDNS window
(Settings>Remote Access).
• For details on creating a DDNS account, see "Appendix F: Setting Up DDNS Service" on
page 104.
2. Configure motion sensing, and enter the designated email address that receives the motion
notification, see "Motion Events" on page 61.
To configure email server options:
1. Select the box Enable outgoing email messages. This will send an email notification
whenever motion is detected by the camera(s) or an external sensor is triggered. If using
Lorex DDNS, go to step 4. If using your own email server, go to step 2.
2. Under SMTP Server, enter the SMTP server address for the outgoing email account.
3. Under Port, enter the outgoing email port.
NOTE: The port may have to be forwarded on your router.
4. Under From Address, enter the sender's email address for the outgoing email notification. If
using Lorex DDNS, go to step 7.
5. Under Account Name, enter the user name/ID required for the email server.
6. Under Account Password, enter the password for the email server. Re-enter the password to
confirm.
7. Click Submit Services to save your settings. Please allow a few moments for your camera to
