Ok, made some progress... I was using my ISP's email server in the DVR.. I switched to my own hosted server and started to get some emails thru. I found that you need to enable the 'schedule' in recording type to get the motion alarm to send an email.

I run my own mail server- static IP and port 25 is not blocked.. I have tried my ISP email and my own hosted email- same result, no emails being sent.

No, not at all.. After the firmware update, I received a couple of video loss emails but no motion snapshots.

in main manue you have default the even and fill-in your account to trigger. Yeah, I filled out the email section.. The DVR will not send email? Strange thing, i woke up to a video loss email at 3:30am. I swapped a camera to another channel at about 9:30pm last night. The email seems to be broken..

I successfully updated my firmware following the posts above. The only thing I can not get working is the email portion... Has anyone got the email .jpg to work on this unit?

You need to format the usb stick to FAT 16 and it will work.
