6) Application Configuration
This page allows configuration of the E-mail and FTP functions.
(1) Recipient E-mail Address
This page allows you to designate a
person to receive E-mail with the
images attached.
(2) Sender’s E-mail Address
This page allows you to enter the
E-mail address of the sender.
The E-mail sender’s address is nothing
more than a reference as to the identity
of the sender, or the administrator, since
the camera cannot receive E-mail in
return.
Another important function of this
menu item is to avoid a potential
problem where the E-mail may be
blocked by an E-mail server. Some
E-mail servers don’t allow reception of
E-mail that does not have a valid return
domain name such as
[email protected]. This is because so
much “spam” is sent using fictional
domain names. Therefore, VersaCam
and other devices that do not have a
valid return domain name or only have
their IP addresses may be prevented
from sending E-mails. To avoid this
problem, VersaCam allows entering a
valid sender’s E-mail address. The default value is invalid, so the administrator should change the
address to a valid one. The administrator may enter only one sender’s E-mail address.
(3) Check E-mail Options
Relay Mail Server: Considering the same problem of E-mail blocking, VersaCam has a function to
relay its E-mail through an available E-mail server so that an E-mail can have the relay server’s
domain name. After activating ‘User Relay Mail Server’ menu, you enter a server’s domain name
such as ‘@abcdefg.com’. The initial E-mail server’s default value is invalid, so don’t use the
default value when you have to use the relay mail server function. Test first with this function
disabled to see if it will be necessary.
Content-Transfer-Type: This is to define E-mail format. E-mail servers and clients usually
support ‘Base64’ format, but some servers do not. In this case, you may select the format as
‘Quoted Printable’ (UUCP).
(4) E-mail Event Configuration
Event source: An administrator may specify which event(s) cause(s) images to be sent as E-mail
attachments. The options include ‘Motion Detection,’ the two external sensors, and a timer
(‘Periodic Sending’). In the latter case, the administrator must also specify the frequency (in
minutes) of capture and transmission. This may be from 5 minutes to 525,600 minutes (once per
