Learning has never been so easy!
If you shop at Harbor Freight then you have likely either considered buying one of their 4 Camera DVR systems or Bought one. At $299 (sometimes $199) its not really that bad of a deal.
Well upon buying them you may noticed that you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT get the email alerts to work. There is a problem in the firmware version: V4.5-V120215 where the email alerts simply do not work. It doesnt even attempt to work.
After HOURS of trying this and that, i have found a solution.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
First I went to 'http://www.nightowlsp.com/Products/Discontinued-Items_2/LION-4500#' as it is the EXACT same model as the Bunker Hill 68332. I then found the firmware download button at the bottom and downloaded the firmware that they offer for that product. Direct Link fore the firmware file is 'http://nightowltechsupport.com/file.php?id=33'.
(side note): The netviewer application can be downloaded from nightowl via this link 'http://nightowltechsupport.com/file.php?id=46'
Once it was downloaded the version number of the firmware they use is different than Bunker Hill so this presented a challenge. After following the instructions in the .txt for uploading that firmware my DVR said that there was no new updates available. So I assumed it had to be an issue with how the firmware was named (it looked for a higher number in the name to allow an upgrade). I looked at my DVR's firmware model and it was a V4.5-V120215. So I changed the first instance of '120215' to 120216 (one number higher than 120215. Then attempted to upgrade. It seemed like it was going to accept it by saying it was upgrading. After it rebooted I looked at the firmware version and it hadnt updated. Then I got the idea that it was looking at multiple numbers in the upload and was requiring them ALL to be higher numbers. So I changed ALL numbers between all the V's to 120216. SO the file name then appeared as 'AL9004_V120216V120216V120216V120216'. then attempted to upload from that and it WORKED!. When the device rebooted the firmware version was now V4.5-V101030 (the 101030 was the original last set of numbers between the last two V's). SO now my device has the latest WORKING firmware version that NightOwl had developed for this device before it was discontinued.
All of my configuration settings were still there.
Here are the settings I used.
Email: ON
SSL: ON
SMTP PORT: 465
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Send Email: DVR@###########.com (my email is hosted by Google Apps)
Send PW: ##########
RECV Email: DVR@###########.com
SSL: ON
SMTP PORT: 465
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Send Email: DVR@###########.com (my email is hosted by Google Apps)
Send PW: ##########
RECV Email: DVR@###########.com
This will also work by using a regular [email protected] account as a send email
Since im using gmail I HAD to set my devices DNS settings to 008.008.008.008
I have FULL recording on so that it would only send me a .jpg when ever it detected motion on my camera 1.
I Applied the settings and for the 5000th time I ran out side and waved my arms in view of the camera.
About 25 seconds later my email account received and email from my DVR with a .jpg attached of me standing there.
When I saw it come in I was so incredibly happy. I have spent COUNTLESS HOURS. atleast 15+ (over the course of a month) trying to get this to work.
Just to test it out again I ran out there again and withing a few seconds another one came in!!! so happy if you cant tell.

SO now I went on to the next thing I wanted. My email to send me TEXT alerts when ever it received an email from my DVR. SO first I sent a text message (Iphone with AT&T) to my DVR@#########.com so I could find my phones 'text message email address'. Once I had that I went to settings in my gmail account and then to forwarding. I added that address to the forward list and it sent me a confirmation number. Once I confirmed that on my gmail account I enabled forwarding to that number and hit save.
I ran back out in view of the camera and with in about 45 secs my email account had forwarded the message from my DVR to my cell in text message form with the picture attached.
AND BAM. Thats how you fix the Bunker Hill Item 68332 Email Alerts like a BOSS.
Your welcome.
MODIFIED. Corrected a small confusion where i stated to change the numbers in the downloaded file between the first two V's to the actual number that needs to be changed. This should clear things up for some users.
I also updated the direct link for the firmware file download.
Hope this helps.
Remember to spice it up if it was helpful :)

This put the icing on the cake for the Bunker Hill setup!!! - DatilAndres719 Nov 24, 2013 at 01:35amIt would be easier to read if it was formatted in steps. Example:
Step 1) blabla..
Step 2) .. - Pimientoshaundre Nov 24, 2013 at 02:18ami tried and it says no update found .My thumb drive contains other files , could this be the problem?
- Pimientobrianlaw2 Apr 8, 2014 at 04:15amI'm currious if the firmware upgrade you did will help with anything else. Maybe better quality video or different recording options etc. Did it change anything else? Thanks.
- Pimientocharliewatson Apr 11, 2014 at 01:15pmI don't know if anything else changed but there is a new download link for the firmware.

my version number is: AL9004_V090807V090617V090815V101030.sw
and the txt file gives info on what the update does:
This updated firmware added support with the UPNP function. Adds DDNS server NIGHTOWLDVR also adds support for Blackberry and Android mobile phones. - Sonora365-Tech-Tyler Jun 25, 2014 at 04:15pmI updated the how to with info on what specifically to change in the filename. Also. i updated the direct download link. The one you posted charliewatson should be the correct one. They changed their website and it was a bit harder to find.
Bunker Hill Security Camera Drivers
I have an older Bunker Hill Security DVR that will let me save video, but in order to do that it requires divx. I have tried to load divx from the divx website, and it won't work at all.
I'm running windows 7 pro 64 bit, on an AMD Athlon X2 dual core 2.10GHZ with 4 gigs ram Acer Laptop.
I was very disapointed when I tried to save a video clip, only to see it say I don't have divx installed, and going through he!! trying to figure out how to get the 'free' divx this DVR was made to use.
So is there some way to get even an older version of divx on here so my DVR will work again.
I have no need for the new super duper versions they have now, but I will be happy with the free version that this box was meant to use.
Any Help?
