Title: Need help with a Wireless IP Camera
Post by: Red on October 30, 2010, 05:55:20 pm
Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Wireless IP Camera at my Parent's house to monitor it while they are away.  The camera is a Planex CS-W04G and I'm using a D-Link Wireless Router and they have a DSL connection.

I got it up and running OK and can view it remotely, but what I can't seem to do right is get it to send me a picture via email whenever it detects motion.

In the Camera's settings page it has an email section and I filled out the boxes with the following info.:

Recipient E-Mail Address  me@yahoo.com

SMTP Server  plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com

SMTP Port  995

Sender E-Mail Address  me@yahoo.com (I've also tried other address and still can't get it to send)

SMTP Authentication  Disabled


It then has a box to send a test email and when I click on it, I get the following error:

smtp error (greeting):

sending E-mail to me@yahoo.com failed


Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

Thanks.

I think for SMTP Server you need to put what it is for your internet provider.

if you are using yahoo mail all of what you need will be in the yahoo mail FAQ, I did something similar with gmail.

If that doesnt work then i dunno

the obvious thing to me is you are using port 995 which is SSL outgoing mail server port; but you have authentication disabled. Almost no mail server will let you do this. Either switch it to 25 (standard SMTP port) or enable authentication.
