the

Test Mail Account button to send a test e-mail and see whether the setup is correct. If

the connection attempt fails, you may also need to check the settings of SMTP Mail Server

requires authentication and SMTP Server described below.

Other options on the E-Mail dialog box:

[Attach Image Setup] Select Attach to include up to 6 snapshots in the e-mail. The image format and

size are selectable from drop-down lists.

[Email-Alerts Setup] Specify the time interval between e-mail alerts. This option can prevent e-mails

from being sent frequently. The default interval is 5 minutes (configurable from 0 to 60 minutes). For

example, if motion lasts for more than 15 minutes, it means that you will receive 3 e-mails at least. If

motion lasts for less than 5 minutes, you will receive one e-mail only.

[Option] Select Auto Modem dial-up to dial-up automatically when the system is instructed to send

e-mail alerts. The Disconnect Delay disconnects the system from Internet after the set number of

minute(s) (from 0 to 30 minutes).

[SMTP Mail Server requires authentication] If the SMTP mail server needs authentication for login,

select this option and type your account name and password.

[SMTP Server] Keep the default port 25 which is common for most SMTP servers. However webmail
providers such as Yahoo and Hotmail generally use different SMTP port. In this case, check your
e-mail provider for the SMTP port number. Select SSL if your e-mail server requires the SSL
authentication for connection.

[Domain Name from DDNS] This option generates URL links in the sent e-mails for remote video

playback. For this function to work, enter the fixed IP address or domain name of GV-System, and

enable WebCam Server.
