iVMS-4500 iPhone - How to get VCA (Line Crossing/Intrusion Detection) Push Alerts

[Magnus357]

I have my DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR setup to connect to iVMS-4500 on iPhone.

I have motion push notifications working perfect and can get all the VCA, line crossing/intrusion detection, email alerts working perfectly.

What I can't get working is push notifications for the VCA events. I'm thinking that the iVMS-4500 is willfully ignoring the VCA alarms. I have "Notify Surveillance Center" on the NVR checked under the VCA linkage method, similar to the motion alerts, but no dice.

Anyone got this working?

Whenever I have a line crossing alert, I just have the camera send me an email with a photo attached to my cell phones MMS email address, ie: 15554443333@mms.att.net and it works great, not having to run an app on my phone that sucks bandwith and battery is also a huge plus for me.

I'm wondering the same. When I try to have the alerts send emails to myself, I get an error message too large to send. Looks to be an AT&T limit on MMS sizes. I haven't seen any way to reduce the image sizes. So iVMS would be a great alternative, unless someone knows how to turn down the image quality.
