    Question

     

     How can I configure an alarm communication between BVMS and Gmail e-mail address?

     

    Answer

     

    BVMS allows you to configure the e-mail settings of your system. On the Events page, you can assign an event to an e-mail. When this event occurs, the systems sends an e-mail. You cannot receive e-mails in BVMS.

     

    1. Prior to configure the e-mail settings of your system, you have to configure the Gmail SMTP setting for Alarm email notification by Creating App password in your Google account

    2. Once the Gmail SMTP settings for Alarm email notification are set, go to Configuration Client Devices > Expand CentralSupport_0-1676626871529.png > CentralSupport_1-1676626915495.png  to add or configure a communication device.
