Update: Push notifications finally work again.
I bought this system in particular so that I could get push notifications on my phone whenever motion is detected. After spending hours trying to get it to work and finally thinking that I was doing something wrong, I decided to call their customer support.
After explaining the problem to them, they told me that their servers stopped working "last week" and they dont know when they will be working again.
This was a week ago and its still not working. Apparently the feature stopped working in January (found out after doing several searches) but I havent found a single comment online from them with any updates or status on the problem.
This shows poor customer support on their part. I do have to say though, the cameras look to be of good quality (HDIP822VW). Email alerts do work, but I only get a snapshot, not a video, so thats a work around for now. Also, I had to use gmail and had to allow "less secure apps" on my account for it to work.
I do like that I can check on my house from anywhere. That part was easy to set up. I think that they are close but they need to get push notifications to work again.
