I have the Blue Iris app setup on my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, but we have 2 different locations with 2 different locations. Is there anyway to setup the notifications so that one of the servers is one color and the other a differnt color? Or someway to distinguish them and make them unique when they pop up with an alert?

You could add a site name to the text of the alerts under Alert tab > On alert. Looks like &SERVER will provide the system name.

Never mind... that's already the default. That doesn't do it for you?

No - I get alerts all the time on both properties because of what I'm monitoring. They're both equally important, but there's a couple of hot spots I want to pay extra attention to, and it's still difficult to distinguish between properties. There's been buglaries recently and one of the properties was broken into twice already before I installed the cameras. So now, as an extra step, i'd like there to be greater distinction and awareness at the app level that I can definitively be able to tell which property the alert is for and how quickly i need to react.

Not aware of any way to do different colors. You can have different sounds for individual cams.

I monitor two different locations using the Blue Iris app on my iPhone. When I get an alert on my phone, it is readily apparent which location it is associated with because the server name is embedded in the alert text.
