Email

ZM is able to send notification emails when email is configured on the client.

You can have emails sent automatically based on a filter. You can have relevant camera pictures embedded in the email.

Tips & Tricks

Email is typically a thing you will configure once, and then reuse that or a similar configuration on many computers. Once you get it right, it's likely to work in multiple servers.

SSMTP is deprecated. Use MSMTP or postfix, etc...
