Alarm.com - Create a video upload limit notification

By default, customers are notified of their monthly video upload limit through emails sent to the primary email of the account. Notification emails are sent when 50%, 90%, and 100% of the monthly video upload is reached. If a customer reaches 100%, a notification is sent at the beginning of the next month when uploads are allowed again. A system event notification can also be created to track the monthly video upload limit using the Customer Website and the Customer app. 

Note: When a customer reaches their upload limit, it stops their camera from uploading clips. The only exception is that Alarm.com always allows Event-Triggerd Alarm clips to come through for security.

  1. Log into the Customer Website.
