When you add camera in SS, just edit it, go to Event Detection -> Advanced (IVS) and check boxes you're interested in. Then SS will be given IVS events 
Here you are screenshot, sorry for Polish, I think you easily find these settings now.

According to IVS setup, just start simple: use IE+plugin, put SD Card, setup it as storage, enable Smart Plan then create IVS rules for that plan. Don't forget to setup scheduling (all days, 00:00 to 23:59). Install DMSS on your smartphone, add camera, go to Camera Details -> Alarms/Notifications -> enable it ad select what you need. You'll be notified every time IVS event is being triggered. You can play records as well.
Best to view & analyze events I've found usage of IE, go to Playback, choose record, play it selecting "rules info" icon at bottom - you will see your IVS rules and objects that triggered them.
Have a fun!
