I have just bought 2 cameras, and installed 163eye on phone and iPad (and PC - CMS Client). Everything works ok, when I am on my local network.
I also receive alerts/alarm messages via local network.
However setting up to receive e-mail (when alarm) is problematic. I tried several times to bind my Gmail-account to my cameras, following this guide carefully, but each time I get this message, when I try to save:
"Email format error".
No matter if I use my Gmail address in box "Addressee" or "Sender"
My Gmail address is: esben.skovgaard.jensen@gmail.com and it has worked fine for several years, so I don't understand why there should be a "format-error", with the result, that I can't save the setup-informations.
Is there some kind of validation of the mail-format in these mentioned 2 boxes - I think it's not unusually to use "." to separate names to the left of @ in e-mail adresses ??
Best regards
Esben Jensen

Tap "Alarm email", you can bind an email account to let the camera send emails.
Please note the camera will not read your email contents, it's only use your email SMTP connection to send email. Making sure your email account can allow app to use the SMTP connection.
No matter you are using gmail or yahoo mail, I highly recommend you to tap "Other email addresses", because you can manually config the SMTP connection.
Gmail SMTP settings:
- If you connect using SSL or TLS, you can send mail to anyone with smtp.gmail.com.
- Note: Before you start the configuration, make sure that Less secure apps is enabled for the desired account.
- Connect to smtp.gmail.com on port 465, if you’re using SSL. (Connect on port 587 if you’re using TLS.)
- Sign in with a Google username and password for authentication to connect with SSL or TLS.
- Ensure that the username you use has cleared the CAPTCHA word verification test that appears when you first sign in.
- Ensure that the account has a secure password.
If the SMTP settings are correct, but can not bind the email address, then you should use the CMSClient software to set the camera's DNS address.
