GMX Mail – set up push

Get CampSecure alarms instantly as push notifications on your smartphone.

← Back to push notifications overview

To get instant CampSecure alerts, enable push notifications in the GMX Mail app on your receiving smartphone.

Enable push notifications

  1. Install the GMX Mail app on your smartphone and sign in with your email address.
  2. Open the GMX Mail app. Tap the ☰ menu top left, then Settings.
  3. Select your email account. Enable push notifications and notification for new emails—ideally for all incoming mail.

Check Android notifications

Open:

Settings → Apps → GMX Mail → Notifications

Make sure notifications are allowed.

Disable battery optimisation

Open:

Settings → Apps → GMX Mail → Battery

Choose Unrestricted or Don’t optimise.

This stops Android from delaying new email alerts.

Test: verify push works

Always test after setup—before you rely on the alarm.

  1. On the alarm phone, open CampSecure Settings → Email notifications.
  2. Tap “Send test email”.
  3. Check your receiving smartphone (with the GMX Mail app).

Success: A push notification appears within a few seconds—not only when you open the mail app.

Note: This is not a test alarm. No sensors are triggered. The test email checks the same path as a real alarm: CampSecure sends → email arrives → push on your phone.

Why email? CampSecure deliberately uses email—no extra servers, no cloud account required. A normal email is enough—and usually reaches your phone within seconds when push is set up correctly.
