Smart doorbell not sending motion alerts or working
Missing motion alerts mean notification permissions are disabled in your phone settings (such as after iOS/Android updates) or motion sensitivity is set too low. Check phone notification settings and increase motion sensitivity in the app.
Smart video doorbells detect motion using passive infrared sensors or pixel analysis, then send push notifications. Alert failures have two main causes: phone notification permissions disabled or motion detection settings turned down.
