CleverMail
Bring cameras that can only send email into CleverCam, with no new hardware. If a camera can email a snapshot, CleverMail bridges it. No ONVIF, no RTSP, no port forwarding.
Cameras just email their motion events. No API, no port-forwarding — CleverMail normalises them into the CleverCam pipeline.
From camera email to live alert
Fully automatic — usually in seconds.
Camera sends email
Your camera detects motion and emails a snapshot over SMTP — just like it already does.
CleverMail receives
Our hosted SMTP server takes the email, detects the camera brand and extracts the image.
Stream created
A camera stream is created automatically — no manual RTSP URLs, no port forwarding.
Live in the app
Snapshots appear in CleverAlert within seconds, and reach your security company as verified events. No extra setup.
Works with any camera
If it can email a snapshot, it works. Verified brands get automatic multi-channel support.

Universal camera support
Any camera with SMTP email alerts works — no ONVIF or RTSP needed. Even 10-year-old DVRs and NVRs connect.
Automatic brand detection
Hikvision, Dahua and more are identified automatically. Multi-channel DVRs split into individual streams.
Snapshot extraction
Images are pulled from every alert and stored in the cloud, refreshing in the app within seconds.
Heartbeat monitoring
Regular heartbeats confirm the hub is online and receiving. If a camera goes quiet, you find out.
Zero-config streams
A new camera email auto-creates its stream. No manual setup, no RTSP URLs, no port forwarding.

Onboard clients with existing cameras instantly — no hardware swap, no site visit to configure RTSP.
