I'm having problems with thefts from my property and need to build a DIY security system to get evidence of who it is so that I can stop it. I wish to monitor my door using an Arduino that will tell Max to record a 4 sec video, using in the in-built camera, when the door is opened. I have an iMac with OSX 10.11.1 and wish to send that file to my gmail or email address (in case one is easier than the other?)

I am new to networking and have researched how to do this but the threads I found are 4/5 years old and require a bit of external programming that I don't understand. I'm hoping that Max 7 may have addressed the problems and made it easier to send emails with attachments.

Any help will be very much appreciated, thank you.

I'm actually working on a maxurl package which contains an email example using mailgun.com

It's a little bit of a fiddle to get it all set up.

When a new video file gets added to a dropbox folder, create a trigger to send an email

Yeah - I'm making an ifttt example for my maxurl package too

By the way, Andrew, was this example with mailgun ever released?
