We have developed a small python application for internal use to enable desktop notifications of camera events using Mobotix’ “IP Notify” action capability as a sender and our python script as a receiver so that the camera can push notifications to the OS desktop notification system. The script is extremely resource light and can be run at startup in the background without measurable impact on the OS.
For details on the application and download, please see visit this link. The script is available for download as python code with installation instructions that has been tested on Linux and Windows and should run without issue on MacOS, but has not been tested in that environment. There is also an installable Windows binary (.exe) available with all necessary dependencies integrated for those unfamiliar with command line operations.
