About

You setup email to point to a text gateway. Setup a filter that monitors the cameras for alarms, and when an alarm is set off you have it send an email to the text gateway. Simple.

You can get images from the alarm embedded in the text.

General

Notifications can be set easily if you want alarms emailed whenever an event occurs between a static time, for example between 12AM and 6AM. If you have a situation where you may not want the alarms to send you text messages on occasion, this requires some more footwork.

A feature in the works would allow you to set filters based on run states, which would mean, you could change the run state at any desired time, and only then would SMS be sent. Until then, you must have duplicate monitors and have the filters activated on only one of them. See resources below.
