hi everyone mike from cctv camera pros here today i'm going to show you how to
set up mobile push notifications using the Viewtron security camera system at my house
i'm going to use that Viewtron ip camera that you see behind me
i have it connected to a Viewtron NVR upstairs in my loft and i'm going to set up an intrusion
zone right here around my front door area so that when someone comes into this area i get a
push notification on the iPhone app it works the same for android i'm going to run you through the
setup on the NVR software first and then do a demo of the whole thing let's get started
i'm logged into my NVR now and this is a live view of all my security cameras
this camera that monitors my front door this is the one that i'm going to set up the intrusion
zone for that i'll send me the push notification i select settings from the main menu and then go
into the ai slash event area from here i'm going to select people vehicle detection and then the
front door camera is already selected and the type of alarm i'm setting up is intrusion first thing i
do is check this enable detection by ip camera box and then i can draw the intrusion zone i'm
using the mouse that's connected to the NVR just by pointing and clicking and connecting these dots
so there's my intrusion zone and i'm going to hit apply and then next i click on this trigger
mode tab and then i want to make sure that push is checked and i also check snapshot and click apply.
Next i'm going to go into the push notification area so that i can tell the NVR what schedule
i want the push messages sent on first thing is I enable push notifications here and then
you can see you can set up there's some default schedules like 24 7 weekdays weekends and then
you can set up custom schedules as well for this test i'm just going to set up a 24 by 7
detection and i'll just run a test and make sure communication with the push server is working and
then i can x out of there next i'm going to enable push notifications in the mobile app.
tTo this i tap on the configuration icon in the upper left
and then select push setting by default all these will be unsubscribed or turned off
the home remote is the device i'm using and this is the state you'll most likely find yours in by
default and to enable push you want to put that slider on and then if you want a live view of
the camera when you get the push notification select live here or if you want to go directly
to recorded playback you could select remote playback i prefer live and when you're done
tap on that disk icon to save your settings in the upper right then tap the back arrow and
the back arrow again and the settings will be saved and push notifications are now enabled.
Last let's do a test of the push notification now that it's set up i'm going to approach
the front door and i'm going to put my iPhone over here on the left hand side of the screen
and you'll see as i cross into the intrusion zone i get the push notification on my phone
and then when i tap on the push message it opens up the app in the live security camera view
just as we configured it and there we go test well done
I want to mention a couple other things about push notifications before i wrap up this video
first of all that was a 4k ip camera at my front door that i was using a traditional
ip camera not ai uh if you've been watching the other videos on the channel or following me you
know i've been making a ton of videos about uh ai cameras that are also ip cameras but they have
built in artificial intelligence uh specifically object detection uh why am i bringing that up
uh the non-ai cameras like the one i was just using that's using that's using video motion
to detect when someone uh intrudes into those detection zones but what's even more reliable
is if you use one of our ai cameras and do human object detection going into an intrusion zone also
in addition to intrusion detection you can use any of the alarms built into these Viewtron systems
for for triggering a push notification uh for example if you want to set up an external alarm
sensor using the alarm inputs on the DVR for example a passive infrared motion detector or a
window or door sensor you can use the alarm inputs on the DVR to also trigger alarms uh one of which
type could be a push notification like we just did i'll be making more videos about this it's
it's a lot to cover these Viewtron systems have a ton of features built in and also
the DVRs with the BNC cameras you can configure push notifications on those
as well also directly from ip cameras if you're not using recorder if you want to learn more about
