For the past few days I've not been receiving any email alerts. If I check "Alarms" on IVMS 4500 I can see that that app is receiving alerts, but I don't get any alert (i.e. I only know if Line Crossing has been activated by taking the time to search within IVMS 4500, obviously missing alerts as they occur).

I think the problem may lie with Allowing Less Secure Apps with Google Chrome. Since 30/05/2022 Google Chrome has removed the option of switching off "Allowing Less Secure Apps".

How can I receive notifications at the time of an event occurring?? I purchased this system to prevent crime occurring, not to just view it after the matter.
 
You beat me to it :)

Let us know how you get on.

I can confirm that Gmail addresses work perfectly again after the new steps (creating an app password).

Here's the guide for getting email notifications working for anybody encountering the issue mentioned above:
