4.3.7 Email alerts setup
The Amcrest ProHD/HDSeries network camera has the ability to send you email alerts to notify you when motion
detection occurs. This is an alternative to using push notifications, which come directly through the Amcrest View
app. Instead, email alerts can come directly to your email app and can also, of course, be checked on a computer.
Email alerts can be a great way to keep an email record of all your motion detection activity, instead of the app.
However, keep in mind that email alerts can be set up and used at the same time as having push notifications
active.
It is important to note that, even though you can use the same email address as both the sender and receiver, it is
highly recommended that you create a brand new email (preferably a Gmail) account to use and configure for
email alerts. This will not mean that you have to use and log into two separate emails, because you can forward all
emails from the dedicated email alert account to your main account.
The benefit of doing this is twofold. One, because setting up a new account means you can set up email alerts
without having to adjust or modify any of the security settings on your primary account and can work without a
hitch. Two, because it will prevent your primary email from being flooded by motion detection alert emails. It is
highly recommended that you do not forward your new email alert account to your primary account until you are
satisfied with the sensitivity settings and frequency of motion alerts.
