See page 17, but most important is to go into your Gmail setup/config and enable 3rd party applications, and assure your DNS is correctly set in the NVR, 8.8.8.8 for primary 8.8.4.4 for secondary

I will check it this week. I have to go back. Other problem I had was when I try to log into cameras from nvr. When I click the camera link, Internet Explorer opens another page, takes me to the camera log in, then page changes and says cannot go to that page. This install had just been weird.
Gotta allow for less secured apps as mentioned above.

Maybe IE is the default browser, should change it to FF.
Can you show us the email settings you have put into the NVR?

Stick with it, my first time configuring gmail on an LTS took a few days, then bam, I found the setting causing the issue and it was on the gmail side. I personally have/manage 6 LTS NVRs in my personal home, my businesses buildings, and a few family members homes. All work spot on with email alarms and attached images. Don't give up, it's not the hardware, just a silly setting your not finding.
Below are working configurations - if you match and can't get working double and triple check your Gmail account.

I think you can adjust the email setting remotely as long as you port forwarded the machine (but i guess you have to go here
) I ran into this too, from my experience gmail is just picky even if you put in the pw info wrong once it thinks someone is trying to hack it then will keep giving you 'Testing fail (figured this out when using someone else's gmail didn't work, but using my own gmail works) making a new gmail and logging in carefully should work.
The whole port forwarding is super easy to do on you router, Take the make say ASUS router and head to youtube and search for port forward videos someone probably has a video for your router, then use this place to check that your router is forwarding the port.
