    mail.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
    mail.To.Add(Form2.TextBox1.Text)
    mail.Subject = "EagleEyes"
    mail.Body = "EagleEyes has detected a movement!"
    If emailphoto Then
        Dim attach As New Attachment("D:\hi" & sm & ".jpg")

Don't use "" by the port.

Please try this for the port:

smtpserver.Port = 587
