Notifications

If your Secure camera, Secure contact sensor, or indoor motion sensor is armed, you will receive a push notification as soon as they detect motion. 

Secure cameras do not require a Bridge to send notifications or to receive advanced notifications that tell you what was detected. However, a Bridge is required to receive notifications from a contact or indoor motion sensor. 

Yes. You can set up push notifications for every Home where you have been granted security permissions. Adjust your notifications in Settings > Security > Notifications.

Yes! In the Philips Hue app, go to Settings > Security > Notifications.

There are different types of notifications you can receive:

1. General: This includes motion, system status, and warnings.
2. Camera: With a subscription, you can change notifications for person, vehicle, animal, and other motion detection.
3. Create Activity or Package zones. An Activity zone limits the motion alerts you receive to specific part(s) of the screen and you can set per activity zone which motion alerts you want to receive. A Package zone can detect packages in a specific area of the video feed.

Configure notifications in the Philips Hue app. In the Settings tab, go to Security > Notifications.

The notification settings are applied to the entire system, meaning every user will receive the same alerts. However, you can disable notifications for the app in your mobile device's notifications settings.

To make sure you always receive notifications about security alerts, set your notifications on your mobile device to Always allow for the Philips Hue app, regardless of your mobile device's mode. You can change this under your mobile device's settings.
