2.Enter your SMTP server and email details:

Sender Server Settings - Provider, Port, SSL/TLS: configure the outgoing mail server your NVR will use to send emails. If you input Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud, the SMTP server and port will be displayed by default. If you choose another, then please Google on the Internet or log into your email official website to find the corresponding email server and SMTP port.
Email Settings - Email address and password: Enter an email address and password that can receive emails. To ensure the security and privacy of your email content, alert emails will be sent through your email account. Please provide either your email password or a higher-security app password. This password will only be used for sending alert emails and will not be used for any other purpose.

3.(Optional) If you’ve set up email alerts, click Use Alert Notification Email to autofill.
4.Click Test to confirm it works.
When you forget your password, click Forget Password on the login popup window, click Recovery Email, and a verification code will be sent to your email. Use it to reset the password.
