XProtect Essential+ Push Notifications

[jiriteach]

Hi - I am wondering if anyone has been able to setup push notifications to iOS using XProtect Essential+
XProtect® Essential+ | Free VMS | Milestone Systems

Trying to find any good information on this is a challenge.

Some places say you need a care plan? Is this true?

Thanks

If I recall you do need a care plan , stinks you cannot even get the email alerts to work in this either as its grayed out as well

are you saying that you need a careplan for email as well? that is insane.

I would check with them, sounds ridiculous.

I’ll try and contact them as yes I agree any notifications seem to want a care plan which is crazy. I installed the entire system and configured it. Not bad - especially for what it offers and 8 cameras in the “free” tier but 0 notifications!

''The subscription model is an opportunity for XProtect Essential users to expand their capabilities beyond the functionality included within the free product. The subscription package can be added on top of the free product if the user needs to add more cameras to the system or wants to take advantage of the Milestone Care Plus connected services, such as Push Notifications, Smart Connect and the Customer Dashboard system monitoring service.''
