I am trying to set this camera I just received yesterday to send me instant alerts. I understand that push notifications (android) are not supported, but I have managed to get it to send me an email, and my mail app notifies me.

But it takes 3+ minutes.

My thinking is that if I can get it to NOT send out a screen image of the alarm event it might come faster. It won't have to upload and send an image attached to the email.

Under "Detector" -> "Action Detection": I have "Take Snapshot" unchecked. But it still sends image attachments, which I think is slowing it down.

Firmware: 2.52.2.5

Thanks for any help!

I've been using the C1 with a spare Android device and the TinyCam app to manage motion detection and alerts. Specifically I have been using TinyCam's Dropbox integration. It has worked pretty well for me.
