1. What Are Smart Detection Alerts

Smart Detection Alerts includes warnings and features triggered by AI-powered detection, such as Push Notifications, Email, Siren, Motion Recording, and FTP Uploading. These features enable individual settings for alarm schedules and detection types, including person, vehicle, pet/animal, and package detection. The available options in the Schedule settings depend on the camera’s enabled detection type. For details, please refer to Introduction to Reolink Smart Detection.

2. When to Use Smart Detection Alerts

To receive alerts for specific objects, you can configure the alarm schedule accordingly. If all footage is marked with a three-overlapping-circle icon, or if all the push notifications and email alerts start with 'Motion Alert', the camera is triggering alerts for any motion without distinguishing between objects. To reduce false alarms, you can set up alerts for person, vehicle, or animal detection.
