I get push notifications when I reboot the NVR but not for motion alerts or tripwire

I have a used N98A5N with the latest firmware (12-23, wonder if previous owner is getting them)

Have DMSS subscribed with multi-channel notification for motion and trip wire. Have logged out and in, re-subscribed and un-subscribed. Deleted app and reinstalled, logged back in. Subscribed thru the device detail also thru the camera config. Can view recordings and live video feeds.

Rebooted the NVR; which I get the notification of NVR going offline then online. So some notifications seem to work.

Motion and trip wire work; have recording set for on motion & tripwire. Recordings all look good.

P2P shows online in NVR

Changed DNS from 8.8.8.8 to local router IP address

All the changes seemed to get me no where except lost lost and lost

Any help would be very appreciated. Wondering if I'm not turning something on. All videos found on Youtube show turning on the multi subscription in DMSS and bang notifications. WTH.
 
Figured it out

1. Changed DNS from 8.8.8.8 to local router IP address, seem to help with time for me.

There also seems to be a cooldown period after each notification. So if you set a notification for motion detection and a smart/tripwire notification for a camera, the smart/tripwire notification will not be sent due to the first motion notification.
 
Google dns 8.8.8.8 for me creates a lot problems with different internet services which are based on geo-location.

If You must use DNS different that Your ISP, use cloud-flare one (1.1.1.1). They support geo-location much better.
