I have verified that email from Argus does work. One thing that threw me in the beginning was that the Argus needs to have an email "account" it can access to send the message using SMTP. I set up a GMail account named "myhousename@google.com". The camera logs into Google's SMTP server using this account name and password, and sends messages to the email addresses that I specify. (My regular GMail account, for example.)

Another wrinkle is that you have to know which "port" the SMTP server listens to. "Normal" SMTP listens to port 25. Google, however, listens to port 465.

There are other ways that Reolink could have set this up. For example, they could have a BIG email server that the camera would access using credentials known only to Reolink, and that server could send messages to wherever you specified. They could also have made each camera an SMTP server, which runs into issues with a log of ISP's. But, that's not what they did.

The way it works is probably the best solution. I'm on Time-Warner (now Spectrum), and all my cameras send email as they are supposed to.

Hope that helps.

PIR scheduling is obvious, (

once you understand it

).

For row one:
0-5 on the left means the first box is hour "0", i.e. midnight to 12:59am
second box is 1:00am to 1:59am
third box is 2:00am to 2:59am
forth box is 3:00an to 3:59am
fifth box is 4:00am to 4:59am

For row two:
6-10 on the next row, the first box is 6:00am to 6:59am
box two is 7:00am to 7:59am

etc. etc.
