Whatever is going on it's not what you think it is. Did you remember to set up an app password and have you set up your NVR to send using authentication.

Hello zudrick.
With any 3rd party email clients, You will need to set up an App password.
When you get a spare minute can it's all advised here in this link
Just had to the section that reads "Setting your app password to use an Email app"
If you can let us know how you get on that would be great.

zudrick - Gareth_L has provided a link to the information you need.
Most email providers now use separate App passwords to try and protect their webmail services. Follow the advice on the page that Gareth linked to in order to set one up.
With regards to the settings page, you pictured. Here are the settings I would use
Encryption: SSL/TLS
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Server: smtp.virginmedia.com
Username: youraddress@virginmedia.com
Password: App password as set up on my.virginmedia.com
Sender: youraddress@virginmedia.xom
Receiver1 targetaddress@gmail.com
Interval (Whatver you wish, however longer intervals would be recommended though)Tim
