LaView NVR Email Help

[newseccam 0]

I just purchased the LaView NVR with 4 PoE cameras (LV-KN988P84A4). I had e-mail notifications working but I was unable to connect the unit to my WD My Cloud NAS (will ask about this in another post) so I downloaded the newest firmware from LaView's website (v3.3.1 build 150928). The e-mail notifications no longer work but I have not changed any of the settings.

 

I still have the following set:

smtp server: smtp.gmail.com

smtp port: 465

Enabled SSL: checked

DNS: 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

 

I get a "failed to send test email please check the paramenters of the network" error. Whats odd is that I have the IP address manual assigned within the LaView software and if I change it to DHCP I cannot access the unit. Stranger is that when I manually assign it an IP address I can access the management page from a web browser but my router does not show that IP address/mac address on the network map (but I can ping it).

 

Any suggestions as to why e-mail notifications would stop working?

I got it working. I reset the NVR to defaults, along with my router, and then re-entered all the information.
