Hi guys,

So I got me some Dahua H2.65 IPC-HDW4431C-A camera and I am trying to setup the SMTP email notification and i keep getting this Sender address can not be empty message. It is annoying the crap out of me. I even changed the DNS ip address to match my router DNS and no luck. What am i doing wrong?
Below is what I have set.

Any any input on setting up this camera would be appreciated. This is my first POE camera and the settings are overwhelming lol
I dont honestly know the differences between 264 vs 264B vs 264h. Should I always have it set at 265? Do these settings look correct?

The messege probably referes to the receiver field. The email needs to go somewhere.

I dont have exact same camera but those settings should work, smtp.gmail.com that is.

Have you done this ? Might be needed. I already did that before. Dont know how it is with Dahua.

  1. Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
  2. Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)"
