I think many will realise how useless e-mail notifications are for most people!
Hmm interesting.. It's really useful for me and here's why.
I get too many notifications for motion - no surprise trees, sun, etc.
But email notiifcation for me with respect to Line crossing and intrusion significantly reduces the false alarms.
Then armed with an email "real" event I can go directly to the retrieve in the SD card memory and retrieve the video. Couple times its helped us now with respect to women 3 pt turning and hitting our plastered wall.
Else without email notifications, any damage I'd have to go back and look at every motion/line/intrusion event on the sd card.
Of ocourse this is my current predicament, I have the NVR just havent integrated it yet.
I am aware that once I have the NVR going I can just put the filter on for enhanced triggers e.g. line intrusion and see just those.
So thats my situation....
Fricken notify surveillance center drives me nuts with motion the only thing that works. I have line and intrusion set for notify surveillance but it doesnt work AT ALL.
One day when I get a moment I'd setup a specific email account, and work out how to get the email account sync or notify to my phone when an email comes in, which will be a sort of line & intrusion notify my phone (surveillance center) .
e.g. Line intrusion alarm -> speciifc email account -> push notification there's an email -> creates sudo notify me
