A push notification is a short alert sent directly to a smartphone from an app or system, even when the app is not open. It appears on the screen as a banner, pop-up, or lock-screen message to quickly inform the user about important activity.
Push notifications are commonly used by security camera systems to notify homeowners or business owners of motion detection, system status updates, or potential security events in real time. This allows users to stay informed no matter where they are.
With a push notification, users can instantly see what triggered the alert and open the app to view live or recorded video. This quick response helps improve security and awareness without constantly checking the app.
Push notifications can be customized, allowing users to choose when and how they receive alerts. Settings may include motion sensitivity, alert schedules, and notification types, helping reduce unnecessary messages.
Overall, push notifications provide fast, convenient, and reliable communication, making them an essential feature for modern smartphone apps monitoring and security camera systems.
