Setting up email notifications for the Vision Series with Gmail

1. Select Setup, Network/Email and input your SMTP information **Our email notifications system has been tested with Gmail and Yahoo so that is InVid’s recommendation. Outlook does work, it requires port 587 and TLS, but you will need to ensure no firewall or security settings are blocking the sending, InVid Tech cannot troubleshoot. 

2. Login to your Gmail account and click “Manage you Google Account”. Select “Security” on the left and enable “2 – Step Verification”. 

3. Click “App Password” 

4. Select “Other (Custom name)” under select app 

5. Give the app a name, in this example we used InVidTech you can put whatever you want here it’s just a label. Then click Generate. 

6. Take your generated password and input this password into the “Password” field under Network/Email.
