Set Up Email Recipients

Email recipients can be configured by selecting one of the listed email providers, or by specifying the SMTP server, port and authentication used by, for example, a corporate email server.

Note

Some email providers have security filters that prevent users from receiving or viewing large amount of attachments, from receiving scheduled emails and similar. Check the email provider’s security policy to avoid delivery problems and locked email accounts.

To set up an email recipient using one of the listed providers:

1.Go to Events > Recipients and click Add.

2.Enter a Name and select Email from the Type list.

3.Enter the email addresses to send emails to in the To field. Use commas to separate multiple addresses.

4.Select the email provider from the Provider list.

5.Enter the user ID and password for the email account.

6.Click Test to send a test email.

To set up an email recipient using for example a corporate email server, follow the instructions above but select User defined as Provider. Enter the email address to appear as sender in the From field. Select Advanced settings and specify the SMTP server address, port and authentication method. Optionally, select Use encryption to send emails over an encrypted connection. The server certificate can be validated using the certificates available in the Axis product. For information on how to upload certificates,

see Certificates on page 45.

To create a new schedule:

1.Go to Events > Schedules and click Add.

2.Enter a descriptive name and the information needed for a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedule.
