Slack integration
Your cameras can email, and everyone already watches Slack. NVR Bridge joins the two. Connect the workspace once, choose a channel, and every alert lands there as a message with the picture already in it — no incoming-webhook URL to copy and no bot token to paste.

How it works
Each camera gets its own private inbound address. Point the camera's existing email or FTP alert settings at it — no firmware changes and nothing to install.
On the Notifications page, click Connect Slack and approve the app for your workspace, then pick the channel. You can connect more than one workspace, and send different triggers to different channels.
A trigger describes what matters — motion on the back gate, a person on the driveway, one particular number plate. Attach the Slack notification to it and only those events go out. One trigger can feed several destinations at once.
Hit Test to push a sample event with sample detections, so you can see exactly how it lands in Slack before a real one arrives. Every delivery after that is logged with its result.
What you get
Questions
You need permission to install an app into the workspace. Many workspaces let any member do that; on a locked-down one an admin approves it once, and after that you choose channels yourself.
Yes. A trigger says what matters and a notification says where it goes, so the back gate can post to #security while the driveway posts to #home — from the same account.
No. The camera connects outward to us using the email or FTP settings it already has. There's no recorder, no mini-PC, no VPN and no inbound port to open.
Yes. Turn on detection and filter the trigger to what you care about — a person, a vehicle, a particular animal, any number plate or one specific plate. Everything else still lands on your timeline; it just doesn't interrupt you.
Add a camera, point its email at the address we give you, and watch the first event land. About five minutes, all of it in a browser.
