D-Link 3220G Network Camera and sending email

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Just picked up on of these Network cameras for home monitoring. I have
tried everything in the manual and on the D-link website to get this thing
to send snapshots via email. No luck so far. Does anybody else out there
have one of these and are you able to get it to send email?

BTW, this camera has some nice features and has worked fine otherwise.
According to the manual sending email should be pretty simple so hopefully
I'm missing something small.

The camera log shows "connection fail" and all the failures managed to
trigger a temporary shutoff at the email server. I know the login username
and password I'm giving it are good because I verified them via the website
email access. Anybody ever run into similar issues with other cameras?

I don't have that model but use verizon for my ISP and their mail requires
user authorization which dlink and other network cams here don't have.
You might check with comcast for mail set up or look in your email client
and see if that authorization ah heck is effecting you too.
Only way I can get cams to mail stuff is to set up a local mail server
here,,, for routers too.

Thanks for the response. I have emailed Comcast to verify the email
settings but I'm using the same info for OE and it works. That's why I
can't understand why it isn't working with the camera. Geez, this should be
the easiest thing about the camera to setup! I'm supplying the account and
password in OE and the "Logon using Secure Password Authentication" and the
"My server requires authentication" are both NOT checked. Is there some
other setting I need to check? I'm getting this message: "Err=501 need MAIL
FROM:<name@domain>"

I also tried emailing the logs from the router and that didn't work either
so I'm worried this is the same thing you ran into. Damn thing doesn't show
any error message so I have no idea why it isn't working.

What is involved in setting up a mail server? That's going to be more $$ no
doubt and require a system be running all the time.

If this turns out to be the case then D-Link has misled me and others.
There is nothing in the documentation that this camera will email only in
SOME cases. I sure hope they haven't provided a half-baked solution here.
I guess I'll try setting up the FTP transfer and see if I can make any
headway there until I hear back from Comcast & D-Link.

Stay tuned...

P.S. The picture quality of this camera is pretty good and the G wireless is
working great. I will be getting a powered speaker to try the 2-way audio
and will check back here with my overall impressions of this camera.

As strange as it may seem, you may not need your user name and
password. I've been tinkering with a free command line email
application called sendemail which was getting authorization
errors. I removed the user name and password from the command
line and it works. If you are sending to a mail server at your
current ISP, then may accept email from with in its system with
out the user and password. Below is what is required to send mail
with in the system of my ISP. From, to, subject, message, and
mail server. If you are using a mail server outside the system or
from another ISP, then the user name and password would
definately be needed. Try skipping the user name and password.

sendemail.exe -f me@home.net -t me@work.net -u test -m send email
test -s smtp.myisp.net:25

Just tried it... No luck. Did get a different error message though....

"Err=501 need MAIL
FROM:<name@domain>"

Error 501 = This response indicates that the server identified an attempt to
issue an SMTP command but the parameters associated with the command
contained a syntax error.

Sounds like you dont have a from field in the sent email and maybe it needs
to be addressed to mail other than your own email addy to another
account like hotmail.

I've a spot where two way audio will come in handy, have been watching for
a deal on dcs3220 or W for myself. They've stung me too many times on
rebates but imagine the new lower light cams will have rebates soon to get
them moving.

Unfortunately, the camera doesn't display what it is using in the error
message so I have no idea what it is actually using, other than looking at
the SMTP config screen. And all looks OK there. I have since found out
that Comcast doesn't support SPA (Secure Password Authentication).

I expect to hear back from D-Link tomorrow on my email to tech support. I
can telnet into the camera but there isn't anything there to look at really.
Maybe they can tell me how to turn on some more detailed tracing?

BTW, didn't have any luck with the FTP function either. Getting "FTP:
Unable to connect to ftp server upload.comcast. at port 5376." when I use
port 21 in the config. When I change the ports (local and 1st ftp server)
to 5276 then I get "FTP: Unable to connect to ftp server upload.comcast. at
port 21." No combination of the two port numbers works.

It appears to be dropping part of the host name. upload.comcast.net gets
cut to upload.comcast. When I change it to just comcast.net the log shows
it correctly but it still doesn't work. I tried entering uploadcomcast.net
in the config screen and the log shows it as "uploadcomcast.ne" so I don't
know if the log is truncating it or it is being truncated by the camera FTP.
Arrggh....

I'm not likin' the way this is shaping up...

fwiw
I just looked real quick at comcast set up instructions for OE
then looked at a dcs2000 configs and its output ...
which is same program(er)as 3220

required for cam to mail comcast sh/b...
smtp.comcast.net
LoginUserName (without @comcast)
passWord
the mailto@address.net
sender email LoginUserName@comcast.net ((from field))
which is way on the bottom of the smtp config
i assume ur email is LoginUserName@comcast.net

I posted this once before for you. For sending mail via your ISP
smtp server, including a user name and password may be giving you
an authinication error (at least it does on my system). I suggest
you try *not* using a name and password and see what happens.
User names and passwords seem to be used for accessing your
email account and reading what is there.

I did try not using a username or password but that didn't work either. But
if no account or password is used, doesn't that mean anybody from any place
could send email through the server? Not sure anybody would allow or want
that type of open access.

If you are interested in experimenting, below is my origional
post with a link to the free sendemail windows application and
the info on using the application. The sendemail application
captures errors in a file for viewing, and thats where I noticed
authinication errors when I included the user name and password.
I think most smtp servers look at the originating IP address
(with in the ISPs domain or not) to determine if the email is
comming with in its system and should be sent. I've been testing
this setup to automatically send a webcam frame capture via email
when an event is triggered. In the batch file you would need to
put in the appropriate email addresses and smpt server info for
your test.

======================================

As strange as it may seem, you may not need your user name and
password. I've been tinkering with a free command line email
application called sendemail which was getting authorization
errors. I removed the user name and password from the command
line and it works. If you are sending to a mail server at your
current ISP, then may accept email from with in its system with
out the user and password. Below is what is required to send mail
with in the system of my ISP. From, to, subject, message, and
mail server. If you are using a mail server outside the system or
from another ISP, then the user name and password would
definately be needed. Try skipping the user name and password.

Did you ever get the FTP to work?? I am getting the same error. I am
using my home computer's FTP (Win2k with IIS 5) and it is not working
for me.

I have also had no luck getting the camera to work wirelessly with my
Belkin 802.11b wireless router. It worked for 10s after i power cycled
both router and camera, but then it all crashed! Tech support was
equally lame when I talked to them about the problems.

I have a D-link 2100+ camera and it would crash using wireless. The fix I
found was to untick UPNP in the camera settings and it has not crashed
since.

I also use the email functionality of the camera without any problems, I
tried the FTP for a while and this also worked for me. This was to an
external account on the Internet.

Nope, never got the FTP functionality to work. The SMTP only worked if I
set up an SMTP server on my PC (built into XP Pro). D-Link's pathetic
support claimed trying to send to a cable company email system was
"advanced" and not supported, yet there help files contain reference to
Comcast, etc. I must say that D-Link tech support is THE worst I have ever
had the misfortune of speaking to. I will never buy another D-Link product
again and will advise others to do the same. For a product costing over
$300, one expects to be able to speak to somebody that isnlt thumbing
through the written scripts for the first time! I actually had to educate
HIM on the camera!

Can you try your camera with another router? Does the same thing happen on
a wired connection? I had mine connected to a Netgear wireless router with
all security enabled as well as UPNP and it was fine. The networking was
about the only thing that worked as advertised with this camera.

Please do tell more... Exactly what provider were you able to FTP and Email
to? What was the magic information that worked with the 2100+? It might
help us with the 3220G. D-Link support sure as hell can't help!

I am sending my motion detected snapshots to a Gmail email account vial my
mail server on Voxetreme. I have the mail server name and the user and
password fields set up. Thats all. Under Tools, Applications, I chose Event
Operation and the Trigger condition is the motion detection window I had
setup. Then upload Snapshots while motion detected is ticked. On the same
page the radio button is ticked to send snapshots via email.

The FTP account was also on a server operated by Voxextreme.
http://www.voxextreme.co.uk the user name did not have an @ in it. I could
not get it to work with a username with an @ in it??? The only difference
from above settings is that the FTP account is filled in and the Tools,
Applications, the radio button to Send snapshots via FTP is on instead of
email.

Both of these work well for me.

My set up is the DCS-2100+ running wireless to a Netgear DG834G router. My
ISP is Plusnet in the UK. I also forward the ports through the router to the
camera so it can be viewed from across the Internet.
