Text message notification is garbage

Smithwick — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:05:45 GMT

Text messages I get from Arlo are not very helpful. My carrier is AT&T. I get messages that look like this:

SUBJ:Arlo Has Just Detected Motion

MSG: This Just InaΔ¿ body{

(Con't 2 of 10

background:#EEEEEE; padding:45px 5%; margin:0; position:relative;

(Con't) 3 of 10

display:block; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; cursor:default;

(Con't) 4 of 10

line-height:normal; } a,img{ outline:none; border:none;

(Con' 5 of 10

} .fixed-table-layout{ display:table; table-layout:fixed; }

Not much you can do... att doesn't strip out the extra html crap.

But at least it notifies you and I always found the txt was easier to deal with than email.

Arlo could send plain text.

you could suggest it ...

As it is there is only Push or email at this time and the sms was a work-a-round.
