Message Push

Deliver device alerts to your backend in real time—so your apps can react the moment something happens.

Overview

Message Push

Message Push is Imou Cloud’s real-time event notification service. When a device on your account—cameras, door locks, sensors, and more—raises an event such as motion detected or device offline, the platform posts that payload over HTTPS to the callback URL you configure. After you receive it, you can process the event in your own systems, or forward it to the App you build.

Stop polling for updates. Receive events as they happen—faster response, less server load, and a smoother experience for end users.
