Description

Getting email alerts working on a DVR or NVR can be frustrating, especially if you’ve tried services like Outlook that no longer support basic authentication. In this tutorial, we’ll show you the process step by step using Gmail, since it still allows app passwords for devices like Security Cameras Inc recorders.

You’ll see how to reach the right menu, which settings to change, and how to enter your Gmail account information the correct way. We’ll also walk through testing the configuration so you know the system is actually sending alerts.

Once finished, your recorder can email you whenever motion or alarms are triggered, giving you an extra layer of peace of mind. This guide is meant for Security Cameras Inc systems sold by CCTV Camera World.
