Yes it has email but I haven't used it. Just checking the Axis website the 207W has been replaced, so you might want to look at the replacement. As it is an indoor camera, when we used it as a security camera it was viewing through a window from one of our seldom used rooms. It lost vision at night it someone turned a light in the room!. Low light was not very good, but we had PIR triggered security lights with remote wireless PIRs so they came on when anyone approaching the house was out of site of the house so didn't know if the house was occupied or a security light coming on.
