Editing, Switching Off, and Deleting Alerts

On the Alerts tab, change an alert, switch it off for a while, or delete it.

Edit: click a row to open Edit alert. Change the cameras, what to detect, or the hours, then click Save.
Switch off: use the switch on the row. A switched-off alert keeps its settings.
Delete: click the trash icon at the right of the row, then Delete in the confirmation dialog. Saved recordings and video are kept.

After any change, click Save on the save bar at the bottom. When only alert switches changed, in most cases the device does not restart, and while it is running and connected the change applies immediately.

Note Recording continues while an alert is off. Recording belongs to the camera; the alert switch only decides whether your phone is notified.

Caution All cameras covers only the cameras that existed when the alert was set up. Edit the alert to add cameras added later.

The cameras shown on each row

The second line of each row names the cameras: the camera name for one camera, n cameras for several, or All cameras when every camera in the place is selected.

Alerts with a message on the second line

The message replaces the cameras and hours on the second line of the row. An alert showing a message does not fire, and its switch is locked as well; pressing it has no effect. Resolve the cause in the table below first.

Message	Cause	Resolution
Silent: this camera is turned off	Every camera the alert watches is off. If only some are off, the alert keeps working on the others.	Turn the camera back on.
Stopped: face recognition is off	A face alert while face recognition is off.	Turn on Settings > Face recognition. The alert returns to the state it had before.

A row labeled Record only, no alert is an alert created in an older version without a phone notification. Alerts created in the current version always include a phone notification.
