When using motion detection, you may want to be advised by e-mail when movement is detected. Configure your e-mail settings first and then configure scheduling an event. See “Scheduling an Event” on page 91 and “Configuring Motion Detection Area and Sensitivity” on page 92.
To configure e-mail alerts, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Click Setup in the toolbar.
STEP 2 Click Applications > Mail. The Applications > Mail window displays.
STEP 3 In Primary SMTP, configure the following:
•Check the check box Primary SMTP to upload to the primary SMTP.

•Password—Enter the password associated with the account name.
•POP Server Name—Enter the name of the POP3 mail server that is being used to receive e-mail.
