•    Before applying the following settings for the email configuration verify that the email account to be used is setup for SMTP settings. Obtain the SMPT server settings, SMPT port settings and document the TLS information.
•    Open the link to see common email provider settings here: http://www.foscam.com/Faqs/view/id/51.html
•    After logging into the homepage for the camera navigate the web browser to the Settings -> Network -> Mail Settings.
•    Enter the appropriate information for the Sender, Receiver, SMPT Server, SMPT Port, Transport Layer Security (TLS) SMTP Username (same as sender) and SMPT Password (Email password) and Sender Email.
•    Once completed be sure to click the “Save” button to save the changes/updates to the configuration before clicking “Test”

Technical Note: To verify that the test is successful verify that a test email was sent to the email inbox of the Receiver Email Account. Also, the Sent folder of the Sender email account can be checked in the event a Spam filter stops delivery of the message.
