Setup email notifications in think value ip camera

-

1. Login through laptop or desktop browser. As long as i tried to setup this feature in imegacam app, there was some sort of error
2. I initially tried doing it with rediffmail but it didn't work out.however, i have to admit i never tried Rediff mail after i logged in into the browser based interface.

How to login in browser based web interface of think value ip camera?0

In the imegacam android mobile app go to device information and check the ip address assigned to your thinkvalue ip camera.

Type the aforementioned ip address in browser. Login dialog box opens. Your login name is - admin and password will be your custom think value camera's password that you were promoted to create when you first set your think value ip camera up.

3. Settings tab>>alarm option>> alarm sub option>>check, check box option called email alarm and send with picture. Beside this option there is a hyper link called email settings. On being clicked a new tab/window opens in your web browser
4.  All points from this point onwards are applicable for gmail setup. I have created a separate email-gmail account for sending such alert messages only. Alerts are send to my official email address. The logic behind this is, if the camera is hacked, no one can reverse engineer and extract my official emailid and password.
5.smtp server name is smtp.gmail.com
5.5 do not activate 2 factor authentication, if already activated then turn off
6. server port = 465
7.safe link - SSL
8. Username and password- my new dedicated gmail id for sending alerts
9.subject- changed the subject line slightly and entered location name for think value ip camera location. For example- dinning room camera sent you an email
10. Press apply button
11. Go to to your google account(not gmail). Select option named security
12. Under security option, there is an option called less secure apps whose default value is off. Turn it on. You will get a critical security alert in your gmail, just do yes...yes.... And you are done
13. Go back to your ip camera email settings tab in your browser and press the test button. New window opens, checks connection with gmail's smtp server and gives success message.

In case it is not working check if you have missed any of my steps.

Special mention- since i am serious about internet security, i have router level firewall and honeypot running on raspberry Pi dedicatedly for this purpose.

Distinguish between barotropic & baroclinic conditions of the atmosphere

-
An air mass which is defined as a large body of air whose physical properties especially temperature, moisture & lapse rate are more or less uniform horizontally for hundreds of kilometers.                             barotropic condition of atmosphere is theoretically ideal condition where surfaces of constant pressure are not intersected by isostereic(constant density) surfaces, so that in a vertical cross-section isobars(imaginary lines joining places of equal atmospheric pressure) & isotherms appear parallel i.e,zero baroclinicity.It is a rare phenomenon & is found in case of frontogenesis,separated by baroclinic front zone.          Baroclinic condition of atmosphere is seen in comparatively narrow zones (perhaps 1000Km. in width) of thermal discontinuity also known as fronts in air mass property. They are belts of sharp meteorological gradient recognized as distinct factors in the origin of mid-latitude disturbances. The instability is associated with rising wa

Airtel DTH: Error B001/Error B003 and Why I left Airtel possibly for Better

-
Image
Why did I decided to Leave?  It has been 2 weeks since I complained about B001 error and Airtel in between replaced 2 set top boxes but problem remained. I have replaced everything as per "diagnosis" of airtel DTH technician but no solution could be reached. Currently, my balance has been deducted from INR200 to INR 10. There are discrepancies with the bills issued against parts replacements conducted during this period. It must be stressed here that I as a customer felt cheated, neglected, harassed by Airtel +Service Partner and I was a 7-8 years+ customer. We never saw that set top box seals were broken in front of our eyes for both the replacements by technicians. My comparison chart for new service provider

Why do isotherms shift north & south from season to season?

-
An isotherm is an imaginary line drawn on a weather chart or map to join places of equal temperature. Temperature varies from season -as there is high temperature during summer & low temperature during winter with minor changes during transitionary seasons. We know that temperature is proportional to atmospheric pressure & inversely proportional to density.                                                        A.P.=K*D*T                                                           T=A.P*1/D where,A.P.=atmospheric pressure;K=constant;D=density;T=temperature      During the summer season in either of the hemisphere's the sun is vertically overhead of the tropic of cancer/capricorn.The land which has a low specific heat capacity & also being a bad conductor of heat re-radiates the heat to the atmosphere resulting in the spreading of molecules of atmospheric gases due to the heat energy. As molecules spread over a wide region it's pressure on the land becomes l
