Email/SMS alert snapshot?

[Geewiz]

Greetings all:

I am a newbie/hobbyist and currently have BI set up on a dedicated server with one IPCC wireless IP cam.

I'm trying to figure out how to send a snapshot alert via SMS when motion is detected but all I am able to achieve is having BI send a video, which I don't want, and anyway the video is removed from the SMS message.

I just can't find the option in BI to send a .jpg

It's got to be something obvious, but I just can't see the forest for the trees.

Thanks!

@Geewiz Welcome to the forum! alerts>send sms> send current image...You will have more options with respect to images if you choose email instead of sms.

I don't know why, but SMS messages take a very long time to be received. Upwards of 10 minutes. Email alerts, on the other hand, are received in about 15 seconds or less, accompanied by two snapshots of the triggering event.

Works for me!

To send an image or video via text message you need to send it as mms using your carrier's email to mms address. Use this list to find your carrier's address. http://www.netrafic.com/blog/email-to-cell/
