# Setting up Reolink app for Moormesh Alerts


## **Setting Up Your Reolink Camera with MoorMesh**


This guide walks you through connecting your Reolink 4G camera to MoorMesh so alerts can be processed and shared with your club.

## **⚠️ Before You Start**


Before setting anything up in MoorMesh, make sure:

* Your camera is fully set up in the Reolink app
* You can connect to it and view the live feed on your phone
* Motion alerts are enabled in the Reolink app
* **Telegram is set up and connected to MoorMesh** (important for real-time alerts)

All camera configuration is done in the Reolink app — MoorMesh simply receives and processes alerts.

## **Step 1: Register Your Camera in MoorMesh**


1. Log in at **moormesh.com**
2. Go to **My Boats**
3. Click **Add Camera**
4. Enter a clear name (e.g. *Interior camera*)

👉 You can also reach this step during onboarding.



## **Step 2: Copy Your Unique Email Settings**

After registering, MoorMesh generates a **unique email configuration** for your camera.

This is how your camera communicates with MoorMesh.

You’ll see:

* SMTP Server
* Port
* Username (starts with cam_)
* Password
* Sender Email (FROM)
* Recipient Email (TO – ends in cloudmailin.net)


⚠️ These are unique to your camera.
⚠️ You must enter them **exactly** as shown.

## **Step 3: Enter Settings in the Reolink App**
In the Reolink app:

1. Open your camera
2. Tap the **settings (⚙️ icon)**
3. Go to:
    * **Notifications**
    * **Email Alerts**

5. Enter the settings from MoorMesh:


**Important:**

* Sender Email = the cam_...@moormesh.com address
* Recipient Email = the cloudmailin.net address
* SSL/TLS = ON
* Port = 587


💡 Tip:
If you’re using iPhone + Mac, copy/paste directly.
Otherwise, log into MoorMesh on your phone to avoid typing errors.

## **Step 4: Save and Trigger Test Alert**


When you tap **Save** in the Reolink app:

* The camera sends a **test email**
* This triggers a **real MoorMesh alert**


## **Step 5: Cancel the Test Alert (Within 90 Seconds)**
If Telegram is set up, you’ll instantly receive:

> ⚠️ Motion detected on *your boat*

You’ll have **90 seconds** to cancel it. If not, please check your email as you'll have a similar email.

Tap the link in the message.

You’ll see a confirmation screen showing:

* Alert cancelled successfully
* Your club was not notified

After cancelling:

* No further MoorMesh alerts will trigger for **5 minutes**
* This prevents repeated false alarms during setup
