Outlook – set up push

Alarm alerts straight to your smartphone—the Microsoft Outlook app.

← Back to push notifications overview

With these settings in the Microsoft Outlook app, CampSecure alarms reach your smartphone immediately.

Enable push notifications

  1. Open the Microsoft Outlook app.
  2. Tap your profile picture top left.
  3. Open Settings.
  4. Select your email account.
  5. Enable Notifications for all email.

Check Android notifications

Open:

Settings → Apps → Outlook → Notifications

Make sure notifications are allowed.

Disable battery optimisation

Open:

Settings → Apps → Outlook → 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 Outlook 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.
