Not receiving push notifications on Android phone for All Motion

therealbobkat — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:12:36 GMT

Hi, I purchased these Pro 2 cameras several years ago but am using them for the first time now to try to find my indoor cat who escaped from my house. I want to receive push notifications for ALL activity (including all the videos labeled "Motion") but I am only receiving push notifications for the "Person" "Vehicle" and "Animal" videos. I have "All Motion" turned on for all three cameras under Smart Notifications. It would be very helpful to receive a push notification for all videos including the "Motion" ones instead of having to manually go into the app all the time to check the Feed for new activity because I am getting a lot of videos labeled "Motion" that are actually animals (but so far not my cat). I live in a rural area so there have been rabbits, squirrels, birds, and mice all labeled as "Motion" not "Animal" videos. My phone is an Android, Google Pixel 7 Pro. Please help, thanks!

Had to edit this since my first attempt was already answered. I'm testing this on a couple of cameras to see what happens for me. I'm also on Android.

While not totally conclusive, I can say I get notifications for All Motion. This is not with a Pro 2 but with an equally old Q camera. You might want to toggle all settings (off and then back on) as well as power-cycling your base.

- If the device does not have a rule, tap or click Add Device Rules.
- Choose the device from which you want to receive notifications and tap or click Save.
- Tap or click the rule card for the selected device.

Tap or click Motion Detection or Audio Detection.
