What is the function of enabling motion detection?
When Motion Detection is enabled, your camera will automatically detect movement within its field of view. Once motion is detected:
- The camera starts recording video of the event.
- A notification can be sent to your phone (if notifications are enabled).
Reminder: To receive alerts, make sure notifications are also enabled under Camera Settings > Notification Settings.
How to enable motion detection?
To enable the motion detection feature on your device, follow these steps:
- Tap the device's "settings" icon located on the app's homepage.
- Select the "Motion Detection" option.
- Locate the "Motion Detection" setting and enable it.
How does each Detection Sensitivity option work?
Motion detection sensitivity affects how far and how easily the camera detects movement.
Low Sensitivity:
- Shorter detection range
- Fewer false alarms
- Best for environments with frequent background motion (e.g., moving trees)
Medium Sensitivity (Default):
- Balanced detection range and accuracy
- Recommended for general use
High Sensitivity:
- Longer detection range
- Detects motion more quickly
- May result in more frequent recordings
- Uses more battery (for battery-powered devices)
Note: Actual detection range may vary depending on your camera model and installation angle.
Tips for Choosing the Right Sensitivity
- If the camera misses events or the detection range feels too short → try High sensitivity.
- If you receive too many alerts or recordings triggered by background activity → try Low sensitivity.
- You can always test different settings and find the one that works best for your environment.
