The VMAX® IP Plus™ Series recording unit uses the Mobile Notify feature to send push notifications from the unit to mobile devices. This feature may be used to update users with mobile notifications of specified event triggers that are detected through the recording System.
Examples of notification events include:
**NOTE: The MetaData notification event option must be selected in the NVR’s Remote Notification settings for push notifications. Please consult the VMAX IP Plus User manual for notification setup as needed.
**NOTE: This setup can only be performed at the VMAX IP Plus itself. The connection of a display monitor and mouse will be required to utilize the user interface of the NVR.
To proceed with setting up the Mobile Notify feature of the VMAX IP Plus Series, the network setup for the NVR must be completed. If you have not yet set up network settings for the NVR, please read Network Setup For The VMAX IP Plus before proceeding.
If you have not yet set up a mobile connection to the NVR, please read VMAX Plus App Setup (VMAX IP Plus).
These settings vary depending on if you are using an Android device or an iOS device to connect with the VMAX IP Plus.
If you have not already done so, please connect a display monitor and USB mouse to the NVR.
Once logged in, right-click with the mouse and navigate to Menu > Network > Mobile Notify.
This menu will display the IP address of the VMAX IP Plus and the unique Device IDs of connected mobile devices that have enabled the Push Notification settings within the VMAX Plus mobile application.
**NOTE: Additional Device, Event, or Record set up may be required, depending on the events that you select. Please consult the User Manual for additional recording setup instructions.
