For the Y-cam to be able to send e-mails you first need to know your POP3 mail settings. These can be acquired from your ISP or network administrator depending on the network the Y-cam is connected to.The details you need are as follows:

· SMPT Server Name
· SMTP server port number
· Authentication (required or not)
· User name
· Password

1. Once you have these details input them in the “e-Mail Setup“ page in the “Settings” window.

2. Select whether you want to send e-mails when motion is triggered and/or at regular intervals at the top of the page.

3. Enter the sender’s e-mail address (the e-mail address you have gathered the above details for)

4. Enter up to 3 e-mail addresses you wish to send these e-mail to

5. Enter or change the subject of the e-mail (this helps the user identify the e-mail and avoids the e-mail getting blocked by spam filters so please enter a relevant subject)

6. Enter a brief message for the recipients

7. Check that file attachment is set to on if you wish to send a snapshot image with the e-mail

8. Click “Apply” to save your settings
