Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

trying to get email alerts to work and just can't work out the issue,

 

tried 25 / 465 / 587 no luck

SSL = on

smtp.gmail.com

***etc***@gmail.com

****passwood etc****

****receive email*****

 

on this dvr it does not have an email test option so no idea what i'm doing wrong,

i have web port, media port, and mobile port all set in router port forwarding also motion detect is activates and setup on all cameras and shows movement on the monitor etc.

 

i can access admin menu via browser and can get all cameras working on my android mobile phone,

I had the same problem: the gmail SMTP server does not accept emails from applications that are not considered 'secure'.

I have enabled the 'Less secure Apps' (https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps) option on my gmail account. Now it works.

Still no go nothing

 

have same problem.

 

my DVR (16 Channels) system is V4.02.R11.31152053.10001 (i guess its chineis , non brand one).

Build Date 2013-09-14 14:31:26

NatStatus DisEnable (what id that suppose to mean ????)

 

 

i can connect to the DVR with my mobile online.

i could connect in the past from my PC Online.

but i never could email Alert or even TEST.

i use Google Email

already use :

port 25 , to aspmx.l.google.com SMTP SERVER

port 465 , with SSL checked, to smtp.gmail.com.

(this is google instruction: https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en)

(used less secure password: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)

 

no success at all with sending emails

i guess it something with the DVR no properly configured with network.

 

The DVR IP is local and Static, with 8.8.8.8 as the primary DNS Server.

i can view the cams in another PC in the LAN .

 

any way to check it?

do any of the other "NETSERVICES" must be configured?

RTSP? ARSP ? DDNS? PPPOE? FTP? UPNP? NTP? DHCP?

maybe must do a firmware update (its very risky an there is no brand behind it).
