Setting up a push schedule allows you to customize alerts for specific motion events, ensuring that you stay informed without unnecessary distractions. This article will provide you with tutorials on how to set up a push schedule for your camera.

Applies to: All Reolink cameras except Argus 2, Argus Pro, Argus 2E 2MP, Argus 3 2MP, Argus PT 2MP, Argus Eco 2MP, Reolink Go, Reolink Go PT, B400, P310C, D400, B800, P331C, D800, P335C.

Note:

1. Please make sure that the Reolink App has permission for notifications in your phone’s system settings before setting the push schedule.

2. For the battery-powered cameras without the person/vehicle detection function, you can only enable/disable the push button. The push schedule is the same as the PIR schedule. How to Set up PIR Schedule

    Tap the time column on the schedule, and you will see the schedule page for that day.

    Tap on the grid and then tap the Enable or Disable button on the left. One grid represents one hour. If the grid is in blue, it means the camera will send notifications when it detects motion in this hour. 

    If you want to apply this configuration to the other days, select the other days under Copy To.

    Step 5. Tap the Return icon in the top left corner when you complete the configuration.

    Step 5. Set up Device Notification Ringtones

    For the stand-alone camera and the camera added to the Reolink Home Hub series, there is an option to customize the ringtone for the camera. 

    device notificaitons ringtones

    If you are using an Android device, there are four push notification ringtones — Mute, Urgent, Important, and General.

    If you are using an iOS device, there are five push notification ringtones — Classic, Soft, Loud, Joy, and Follow System(the same as the phone setting).
    This feature allows you to assign different sounds to different cameras. For example, you can set one tone for your front door camera and another for the backyard, helping you identify which camera triggered the alert just by the sound.

    Critical Alerts

    Only on the iOS App, you can set it to receive Critical Alerts even when your iPhone is muted or Do Not Disturb is enabled.

    If the Reolink App does not yet have permission for Critical Alerts in your iPhone’s system settings, tapping Allow Critical Alerts in the app will trigger a pop-up message. This message will remind you that the permission needs to be enabled in your iPhone’s settings.

    To make things easier, simply tap Go to Settings on the pop-up — this will take you directly to the relevant system settings page, so you don’t need to manually search for it.

    Then choose Notifications on your iPhone, and enable Critical Alerts.
