The email settings for your IP Camera helps you to monitor your recordings, report any changes on your IP Camera settings (such as WAN IP for remote connections, etc.) and send alerts if you setup any alarms with "Motion Detection" inside the IP Camera settings.
Here are the steps to setup the email settings on your IP Camera:
1. Open your browser (IE,Mozilla,Firefox,etc) and enter the IP address of the IP Camera (For example: http://192.168.x.x/yy where "yy" is the port number of your IP camera). This will prompt you to type some credentials to access the router webpage.
2. Use "admin" as user. For XPY 300 series, leave the password on "Blank" and for XPY 500 series, type "admin" on the password field.
