How to send alerts to iPhone "Message" rather than email

Arlo wireless CCTV ... model VMS 3230-100NAS. How can I receive an alert on iPhone Meeage rather than email? I receive instant notification on Message, but alerts tend to get lost in higher volume of emails.

Just want to clarify, are you getting a notification AND and email? You could go into your mode and change each rule to stop sending an email if triggered

No, currently I receive an email alert with an attached file that shows a photo of what caused the alert. Instead of email, I would prefer receiving this alert on my iPhone "messages" app, which receives messages based on your telephone number. I'm not finding anything under "mode" or elsewhere that gives me this option. I'm ok with receiving both places, just want to find a means to transmit to the messages app on my phone.
