If you’re a Gmail user, you can find Google’s SMTP settings by following these instructions. Here you’ll need some information from your email provider–specifically, the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) settings.
From the Motion Detection window, click the Actions tab and check Send E-Mail then click the Settings menu button.
Having a motion-detector webcam is handy, but you need some way of monitoring the feed when you’re not at your desk, so we’re going to configure Yawcam to email you snapshots whenever the motion detector is triggered. You may need to get the SMTP settings from your email provider or ISP. Set up Yawcam to email you when it detects motion. Now motion detection is running, but it’s not streaming the camera feed anywhere.
Feel free to play around with the settings a bit, then click the Enable button on the left-hand side of the window. You can fine-tune the motion-detection features in the Settings menu, where you can confine the motion detection to a certain area of the camera image, tweak the sensitivity level, and more. This window shows you a preview of the motion your camera is detecting. Next, turn on Yawcam’s motion detection feature.From the main Yawcam window, click on the Window menu and select Motion Detection.
