Why Can't My Phone Receive Any Alarm Message Push?
Troubleshooting notification delivery issues
Problem
Motion is being detected by your camera, but alarm notifications are not arriving on your mobile device.
Causes and Solutions
1. Check Message Push Settings in App
Verify that alarm notifications are enabled in the application:
- Open your camera app
- Navigate to Settings > Notifications or Message Push
- Ensure that Push Notifications or Alarm Notifications are enabled
- Check if specific notification types are enabled:
- Motion detection alerts
- Sound and light alarm notifications

2. Verify Device Notification Permissions
The application needs permission from your device to send notifications:
For iOS:
- Go to Settings > Notifications
- Find your camera app in the list
- Ensure Allow Notifications is turned ON
- Enable:
- Lock Screen
- Notification Center
- Banners
- Set Alert Style to your preference
For Android:
- Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications)
- Find your camera app
- Tap Notifications
- Ensure notifications are Allowed or Enabled
- Check that All categories are enabled
- Verify the app is not in battery optimization (may block background notifications)
3. Additional Troubleshooting
If notifications are still not working:
- Restart the app - Close and reopen the application
- Check internet connection - Ensure your phone has an active internet connection
- Update the app - Make sure you're using the latest version
- Reinstall the app - Uninstall and reinstall as a last resort
- Check Do Not Disturb - Ensure your phone's Do Not Disturb mode isn't blocking notifications
Important Notes
- Some devices have aggressive battery optimization that may delay or block notifications
- Notification delivery may be delayed if your phone has poor internet connectivity
- Check if you've reached any notification limits set in the app
