Mail Profiles

Images via Email

The MOBOTIX Camera allows images to be send by email. The images are appended to a short text mail body. The sending can be nudged by periodical Time Tasks or by events defined in Event Control

Defining Profiles

In order for an image to be sent successfully by email, several settings are needed. They are summarized in Mail Profiles. You can define up to two mail profiles.

Each profile is described in Mail Profiles by:

Profile	Profile must be an unique symbolic name reference to identify the profile. It is used in Time Tasks to refer to the profile (required).
Receiver Address	The Receiver Address is the full qualified email address of the recipient of the mail.
From Address	Is the email address that will appear as the senders adress. Usually it is your own email address. Note that the camera does not accept incoming emails.
Reply Address	The Reply Address is the email address the mail will be sent to if any problem occurs on its way to the recipient. It is also used by mail programs to decide where to send an answer. Usually you should provide your valid email address to receive error reports.
Mail Host (SMTP Host)	The Mail Host (using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) that will accept the email send by the camera and is willing to transfer it. Ask your network administrator or your ISP for this information. Ensure that DNS settings are correct, so a symbolic name of the mail host can be resolved. The network settings, especially gateway are correct, so the mail host can be reached. Any firewall in your network allows SMTP traffic from your camera to the SMTP host.
Subject	You can insert some text in the Subject field that will appear in the first part of the subject line of the mail.
remove	If the profile was accepted, the remove switch marks this profile for deletion.
