2.11 Sending Alarm Log Information
You can configure the camera to send a daily log by E-mail that reports the status of the sensor and motion detection triggers. This allows you to be notified by E-mail once a day and know whether or not there were any events that triggered the camera. Ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator for the appropriate settings.
1.
Click the [Setup] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Buffer/Transfer], click [Alarm Log].
3.
Set the following parameters as desired.
a.
Under [A setup of operation], select the desired setting.
[Never send alarm logs]: Alarm logs will not be sent.
[Always send alarm logs]: Alarm logs will be sent, even if the camera was not triggered.
[Send alarm logs only when the camera was triggered]: Alarm logs will be sent if the camera was triggered.

This feature cannot transfer images to web-based mail servers, such as Hotmail.
d.
Enter the port number used by the server. (Port 25 is normally used for sending E-mail.)
e.
Enter the reply E-mail address*2 that will be shown to the recipient as the sender of the E-mail.
In an effort to reduce spam, many ISPs block E-mail sent through the SMTP server from an E-mail address that is not associated with the SMTP server, therefore, we recommend entering the E-mail address assigned to you by your ISP.

Enter the destination E-mail address*2. Up to 3 addresses can be entered.

Enter the subject*2 that will be displayed in E-mail messages sent by the camera (max. 44 characters).

[No authentication]: Select this option if the outgoing E-mail server does not require authentication when sending E-mail messages.

a.
Enter the IP address or the host name*1 of the POP3 server (incoming mail server).
An IPv6 address can be entered.
