Notifications can be delivered via email or SMS for selected Camera Events. Admins can toggle Event Notifications on/off, assign Subscribers to specific Events, and choose preferred delivery methods. Deactivation pauses notifications without removing Subscriber data, while deletion permanently removes them. Examples of email and SMS notifications are provided to show what Subscribers will receive.
