What types of notifications are available for detected motion? I saw email notification in the video, are push notifications an option?

Email notifications are the default in the Arlo program... but I have also sent SMS (text) messgs to a dumb phone.

Using the phone company's format most phones will handle email to text. Exp; verizon uses phone#@vtext.com

check with your service provider for proper format

I can only speak for iOS.

I have push notifications turned on on my iPhone and I get two notifications per Motion Detection.

Notification 1 - There motion detected

Notification 2 - There is a new recorded video from the motion detected.

There is a current bug for the App badge but the notifications work perfectly.

You can also add SMS alerts with images via a 3rd party solution called https://textmeplz.com. I wrote this because I dislike the push noitifcations, emails, and the text messages without the image.

See if it works for you.
