This being Hotmail (or Outlook.com as it is now known), do test emails go through? Also, worth trying setting up a GMail account (remembering to turn on "Allow less secure apps" in the settings if you get some message about them being blocked and no emails being sent).

Cheers for the like Kyle - much appreciated. Current update, the second of the two new cameras has now been installed (a couple of weeks ago). Both of the second new cameras replacing existing Foscam ones. The second (making 3 Hikvisions in total) took a little faffing about to physically...

Been a while since I did an update on this. Bottom line - No idea why my original Outlook.com email account refused to send notification emails, while happily sending Foscam notifications, other emails and the HikVision test emails. Microsoft Outlook.com support I have to say are a total waste...

*** Update on Outlook.com *** Here's another update in the lonnng running saga of getting email notifications from this camera working via Outlook.com. First thing to say is that I NOW HAVE IT WORKING! Albeit being sent from a different and newly created Outlook.com account to the existing one...

I think in our case it has to be something, at least partially, to do with that camera's specific location and orientation. There are 7 other cameras (Foscam) on the site - you can see the IR illumation from two of them around the gate area. Four have been there for over 3-4 years now and...

More back-and-forth with Microsoft's Outlook.com "so-called" support. Now they are back to "increasing your account sending reputation" and that I should add the sending account as a "trusted sender" on the receiving email accounts.. DOHHH WHY????? These emails are being blocked from being...

Another update in the saga of the "Oulook.com Email Swallowing Black Hole" :) A fair amount of back-and fort with Oulook.com support. Supplying them with various screen snips of the camera's SMTP email settings, camera event logs (precise indicators for when emails should have been sent), test...

I thought I would do this bit as a seperate post. I was on my way home the 30th May when a thought occurred as what else I hadn't tried - and, with Kyle's help and guidence, I've a LOT. Hmmm... So far we'd stuck with or Outllook.com mail account as the email provider for send all the...

Time for an update.... With a lot of input from Kyle and the guys at Use-IP, a lot of testing has been going on to try and figure this one out. I'll pick up at the point when I put in a 128GB microSD card. It was going to be a 16GB as I just happened to have around, as one does. But I thought...

I've just bought a DS-2CD2146G2-ISU (from Use-IP) for testing on a remote outdoor site (which belongs to a friend). My first experience with Hikvision and not a CCTV "pro" - the day job is IT/networks. So forgive me if I'm a "newbie". Not a complete "newbie" to IP CCTV though (see below). The...
