How to send email

Description
This article explains how to configure the SMTP server and send emails, specifically addressing the updated Google security policy (which no longer supports "Less Secure Apps").

 

Solution 

1. Basic Network Verification

•  Please kindly make sure that you are using LAN1. 
  (For NVRsolo/Crystal/Titan/NVRmini2, please always connect LAN1 to the Internet)
• DNS Settings: Verify that a valid Primary DNS has been configured in the system.
   

2. Enable 2-Step Verification and App Passwords

• Enable 2-Step Verification: Log in to your Google Account, navigate to the "Security" page, and ensure "2-Step Verification" is turned ON.
  
   
• Scroll to the bottom of the 2-Step Verification page to find and select "App passwords".
  

• Enter a recognizable name (e.g., "NUUO Mail") and click "Create".

  

• Copy the 16-digit App Password displayed. This is the specific password you will enter into your NVR's SMTP settings.
  

3. SMTP Settings in NUUO Systems
Enter the following information on the system's SMTP configuration page:

• Gmail Account: Your full Gmail address (e.g., [e-mail]).
• Password: Enter the 16-character App Password obtained in the previous step (NOT your regular Gmail login password).
• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP Port: 465
   

4. After done all the SMTP settings, you can simply click on "Send Test Mail". With correct settings, the recording server will send out a test mail to related sender account.

Note:
1. The article is also applied to NUUO Mainconsole, except NVRSolo/NVRmini2/Titan/Crystal.

 

2. The SMTP functionality of NUUO NVR system supports mail server that supports SSL authentication only. It doesn’t support StartTLS or AUTH.
