1. Logging in a camera via Reolink App as an Admin Account and go to Settings, you will see the page below:
As an admin, you can set up Display, Motion Detection, Push Notification, Email Alerts, Share Camera, and other advanced settings such as User Management, Date&Time, FTP Upload, Record Audio, and Infrared Lights.
2. Logging in a camera via Reolink App as a User Account and go to Settings, you will see the page below. If you check the camera via Reolink Client, there is no Settings icon.
As a user account, you can live view and playback, Enable/Disable Push Notifications, and Share Camera.
Notes：
- The admin password can be modified while the name-admin can not be changed.
- As a default administrator account, you can disconnect the unwanted common access users.
- As a default administrator account, you could create other admin/user accounts, modify all accounts' passwords and delete accounts. A common admin account could not create another admin account but could change its password and the user account's password. A user account can only change its password.
- If your user account does not see or cannot open push notification, this will be modified in the future.
