Do you have your DNS correctly setup on your DVR? With no DNS your DVR is unable to resolve names (like smtp.gmail.com).

Check your settings on Additional function -> Preferred DNS.

 

Here is a guide with the exact settings you can use with your DVR (which is manufactured by Dahua) and Gmail, it is in spanish but it should help you out.
