    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

I recently switched from a Vivint system to Dahua wired NVR system with / alarm.com combo. the cameras and NVR system is cool but I’m extremely disappointed in the lack of basic features like push notifications on motion alerts. This is for a home system and the ability to be notified when...
