Hi there, I'm looking to install a 16+ ch PoE NVR that ideally can take a SIM card and use it to send texts to a list of predefined numbers when alerts are triggered. I have found that Hikvision sells systems that do exactly this, but I have contacted sales and they told me that it's "not a US market item", so I'm concerned that even if I bought it secondhand, it might not work with U.S. wireless bands.

I have some experience with an AVYCON system, but as far as I could tell, they unfortunately don't sell an NVR that offers this feature. The closest solution I could come up with is to send an email to the carrier's email-to-text service, but I had issues since it seems that the automated message gets caught by a spam filter - also, this requires a constant internet connection.

Thanks for any help!
