Y-cam Classic Range - Manual (Page 47)

Page 47
[Subject] Subject of the e‐mail that is sent. Entering a relevant subject will help identify the alarm better. i.e “Garage
Alarm”
[Message] Type the text you wish to appear in the e‐mail. e.g. This is to notify you that your alarm has been triggered.
Notes:
Email settings can be obtained from your e‐mail service provider. An SMTP email account is required – these are very
common if you use POP3 email and some IMAP servers. A true IMAP server will not work.
Some ISPs won’t let you use any other SMTP server other than their own (British Telecom BT are a good example of
this).
6.421 Y‐cam with Gmail Servers
The SMTP server name and port that Google Mail uses requires a Secure SSL connection and Authentication to work.
For your Y‐cam to be able to use the Gmail servers, use these settings:
SMTP Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port: 465 (or 587 if using TLS)
Secure SSL Connection: Yes
Authentication: Yes
Username: Enter only your username for Google Mail, not your whole email address.
Password: Your Gmail password.
Sender Mail Address : Your Google Mail email address
Note: When it asks for the username you only need the first part of your Gmail email address.
