Below are steps to follow in order to successfully configure Gmail notification in our 1004 and 1103series cameras line:

 

1-/ First of all please refer to Google Mail about (How to enable the App password in Gmail) to generate an App Password in your Gmail account. Please refer to the link below:

 https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

2-/ Make sure you've forwarded the TLS port 587 through your router since Google has stopped SSL= port 465 encryptions for Gmail.

3-/ Make sure you've properly configured your Gateway on the GUI of the camera then save and reboot the camera.
