      **This guide will be utilizing the web GUI the only difference between here and the local monitor will be accessing main menu on the local monitor. You right click on the mouse button and click Main Menu, Network, Basic, Email across the top** 

       

      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 Yahoo Account and click on “Account Info”, then “Account Security” on the left and make sure “2-Step Verification is enabled. 

       

      3. Click on “Generate App Password”, hit “Get Started” and input a name. In this example we used InVidTech you can put whatever you want here it’s just a label. The click “Generate Password”. 

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