I am using gmail, as that seems to be the easiest to get it to work.
So I did another test, to rule out that it's gmail being the problem. I changed the email to my countermail.com and hotmail.com emails, so it sent emails to these two email addresses as well. Same problem, the pictures on top should be the oldest, on bottom. For example, here's the order of the pictures with their respective time stamps.
1st pic: 22:21:04
2nd pic: 22:21:03
3rd pic: 22:21:02
4th pic: 22:21:01
5th pic: 22:21:00
The order of the pictures should be exactly reversed.
Yes, I actually tried all the firmwares I can get, I tried every single one of these:
1.01.04
1.04.00
1.03.06
1.05.02
1.06.00
1.07.00
1.08.03
In regards to your last question, I'm in my room, with the room light on, as it's night currently and the IR LED is lit on solid RED.
When I first bought this camera it was working fine. Then a few months later, I updated the firmware and ever since then, it has never worked.
I tried even going back to the original firmware that the camera came with, I loaded that firmware and it still doesn't work. I can't return the camera since it's outside the return policy, it's a shame, because besides this problem, it's a good camera.
