2. After confirming from the table above that your camera supports Rich Notifications, make sure the camera is running the latest firmware version. If necessary, refer to Reolink Firmware Update Guide to update the firmware.
3. Although the cameras listed above support Rich Notifications, this feature is unavailable when the cameras are connected to a Reolink NVR or Home Hub, as Rich Notifications are not supported on these devices.
