I setup a new gmail account just for BI but sometimes i don't get the text with a image of the event until 4 hours later so that is no good.
I got push to my phone to work but i do not get a image of the event if i'm off my local network. Is there any way around that? If i leave my VPN on it seems to kill my phone battery.

I prefer the sms over the app push because I like to be able to easily scroll back thru all the prior alerts
The push alerts work but i get no image with them unless i am home. I find the image very useful for knowing at a glance of my apple watch that a UPS package has came etc.
I'm giving my website e-mail a try since i pay for the service maybe there will be no 3-4 hour delays like with gmail. I do have comacst email that i never use.

Just for shits and giggles I put the Gmail app on my phone and logged into it using a dedicated Gmail address today set up for blue iris to receive blue iris alerts but I use the Hotmail credentials to send the blue iris alerts and I’m getting I push notification from the Gmail app that’s only one minute old from the instance of the video
