This post details the process of setting up E-mail motion notifications for a Network Video Recorder that’s running pre-2019 firmware. These notifications take the form of an email, usually with a picture attached.

- Fill in the username as eagleeyenotify (note the two consecutive “e”s in eagleeye)
- The password is as follows:
muzr ydph cnxk zttr
**DO NOT include the spaces between the sets of characters, they are there to make it easier to read** - SMTP Server:
smtp.gmail.com
SMTP port as 587
Make sure Enable SSL is turned on - Fill out the Sender field as Camera Notify
- The Senders Address is eagleeyenotify@gmail.com(Note again the two “e”s)
- Leave Receiver 1 for now. You can add more recipients afterwards if you wish
- Write your name in the Receiver field, and then fill in the email address you would like to have the notifications sent to
- Enable Attached Picture should be enabled
- Interval setting should be left as is
- Hit Apply.
- You can now click “Test” to ensure it is working properly. You should get an Email saying “This e-mail is used to test whether your SMTP settings work.”
