It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?

Salad sandwiches is my main use for it, but I have put it on salads too.
It's cool to have ID'd one of them, regardless.
My point was really how there was little to no verification on SMTP servers back then and that you could send mail with a simple terminal program, or, more practically, a script.
Not hacking, but using knowledge of the insecurity of SMTP servers of the time, to allow spoofing easy spoofing.
Not so easy to find SMTP servers to do that with now.
Not really hacking, but in the 90s you could usually just connect to a mail server and it would believe what you told it.
If you were careful you could just type an email directly: MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, etc.
I would write scripts at work to send spoof emails sometimes, you could put anything as the FROM address, like "info @ catfacts" or whatever.
Another "not really hacking" example is that when some companies first got an Internet connection, they would just allocate public IP addresses to everyone, no gateway or firewall. So you could browse any non-passworded smb shares just knowing the IP.
Oh yes, 3 does look like that! But 4 looks like the moomin.
Ideally labelled "[Megathread]" despite allowing no comments.

You have to ask yourself:
Which came first, the chicken or the soup?
It's probably that a designer would have to ask a programmer to create scripting features to make a train work.
Or the could get the job done by using what they had instead of having to wait for someone else to write new code.

That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.
The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I'm interested in new options.
