I have HiLook and iVMS on my phone and do not see any option to receive notifications. Nor do I see anything in my NVR to send notifications externally.

Are you planning on wired or wireless cameras?

Sad, 82 views and no replies.

After much searching and reading I decided on a NVR PoE system. Many brands have many complaints about support. Currently looking at Hikvision EKI-Q82T26 and Night Owl Design is for all outdoor cameras. Pic attached. Cat 6 from house to barn to carry data of 3 cameras 300' from router to wireless access point Not sure which cameras to use. Would like to add 1 PTZ to barn. Should I use Cat 6 for cameras? Camera runs are less than 70' or less. All input appreciated.

Do you have suggestions for quality equipment and sources for DYI's?

Zosi has Impressive specs. I suggest you read all the complaints on Zosi. It turned me off.
