While I can set up my motion sensors to send email and text\/SMS notifications from within both the iOS and Windows 8 apps, currently there is no way to configure alerts from the Insteon Indoor 75790 cameras. These cameras support both video and audio alerts, and I\u2019d love to see&#160; an interface for configuring this, as well as other advanced features, inside the Insteon for Hub apps. <\/p>\n<p>I sat down this morning to figure out how to do this, and it was extremely easy. <\/p>\n<p>Start by logging into the web interface for your camera. You\u2019ll need the IP and the Port you configured (don\u2019t leave these cameras configured on Port 80). In other words, open your web browser and go to the address that looks like <strong>http:\/\/192.168.0.114:25114<\/strong> that you set up when you configured your camera. Log in with your configured username and password. <\/p>\n<p>Next, navigate to the Mail Service Settings to configure the sender account and the receiver. You can designate multiple receivers, so you can send text, SMS and MMS or whatever combination suits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>I tested sending with both a Comcast and a Gmail address. Comcast\u2019s SMTP server is smtp.comcast.net and Google\u2019s is smtp.gmail.com. Both require the same settings, use port 587, STARTTLS, and need authentication. Configure your Receiver(s). For MMS, use your 10 digit phone number and your carriers email to SMS gateway address which you can normally find at your carrier\u2019s web site. There is a large list at <a title=\"http:\/\/www.tech-faq.com\/how-to-send-text-messages-free.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tech-faq.com\/how-to-send-text-messages-free.html\">http:\/\/www.tech-faq.com\/how-to-send-text-messages-free.html<\/a> but I don\u2019t know how current\/accurate it is. For example, you can\u2019t send images to Verizon phones via MMS using vtext.com. You can, however, do this with vzwpix.com. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"set email for mms\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"set email for mms\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalmediaphile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/setemailformms.png\" width=\"550\" height=\"348\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019ve finished configuring your mail and receiver settings, select Submit, then navigate to Alarm Service Settings<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"turn motion detection on\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"turn motion detection on\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalmediaphile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/turnmotiondetectionon.png\" width=\"550\" height=\"344\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Check Motion Detection Alarmed and select Submit.
