Camera app notifications not arriving on your phone
Notifications stop working when the app loses permission to send alerts or activity detection is turned off. First, check that notifications are turned on in your phone's Settings and in the camera app. Then make sure motion detection is enabled in the camera settings.
Your phone and the camera app both need to allow notifications before you'll get alerts. Your phone's Settings control whether the app is allowed to send alerts, and the camera app controls whether motion detection is even turned on. Notifications stop after a phone update, when you switch phones, or when the camera app gets updated. Checking both places brings the alerts back right away.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Checking only the camera app settings but forgetting that your phone's Settings also control notifications
- Assuming the camera is broken when really the phone just doesn't allow the app to send alerts
- Leaving Do Not Disturb on during the day — it silences everything including camera alerts
Signs you need professional help
- You've checked phone Settings, enabled motion detection, and turned off Do Not Disturb but still no notifications
- Notifications worked fine until a recent phone update — and other apps send notifications but the camera app doesn't
- Multiple people on the same camera are not getting notifications
