Open the web-interface of the camera with administrator rights.
Go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Email
Enter connection details - SMTP Server, SMTP Port, Sender's Address and add Receiver. The last 2 must match. If authorization is enabled in SMTP server settings, enter username and password, also enable Authentication.
Press Test. If everything is correct, you’ll see a message Succeed and in the logs of Yucca message about created event:
{"component":"server","level":"info","module":"smtp","msg":"Event annotation created","stream_id":10,"time":"2021-05-27T12:24:41+02:00"}
And a yellow marker will appear in the camera’s progress bar.
Next, you need to enable Motion Detection. Go to Configuration > Event > Basic Event > Motion Detection and turn on Enable Motion Detection function. In the tab called Linkage method turn on Send Email as a type of notification.
