I have ATT DSL and would also like to know if there are any problems with email alerts with ATT's smtp server on port 445.

I have never set up email alerts, or FTPs. Most of my customers do not have a need for them. Those that do want that feature, are tech, and IP savy, and they do the setup themselves.
I have heard about people having problems with email alerts. These were not my customers, and they were not local to me where I could drive out and take a look at the setup.
I do not think you would have to open any ports for email traffic for this DVR, but then who knows?
The complaint that I have heard from one person was that the DVR was uploading/attaching a HTML file called "Motion_TIMESTAMP.htm
I think they were trying to get this DVR to do something else such as embedding this event in to a webpage, but I do not know.
I do know that you can send video to a remote computer, and it will put icons on your desk top (or where ever you designate). When you click on the icon you can watch a clip of the video. If you have 8 cameras going in a very busy environment then your desktop will get filled really quick with these icons.
If you are IP savy then I believe you will be able to work it through.
If not then you may want to get a networking expert friend of yours to take a look at it for you.
