Will I still receive motion detection notifications when my camera is turned off or in sleep mode?
No, you will not receive motion detection notifications when your camera is off or in sleep mode. Here's what happens in each scenario:
When the Camera is Off:
- The camera cannot detect any motion, so no notifications will be generated or sent.
When the Camera is in Sleep Mode:
- Motion detection is completely disabled during sleep mode.
- The camera will be deactivated and cannot access live feed, record videos, or send push notifications.
- All motion detection functions (including notifications, recordings, and camera alarms) stop working until you manually wake up the camera or the scheduled sleep period ends.
How Notifications Work:
- Notifications are pushed from the server directly to your phone, not through the app itself.
- Make sure both your phone and the camera have an active internet connection.
- However, the camera must be powered on and not in sleep mode to detect motion and generate these notifications in the first place.
To Resume Notifications:
- If your camera is in sleep mode, you can reactivate it by tapping "Wake up" on the live window anytime.
- Check your sleep schedule settings if your camera is entering sleep mode unexpectedly.
