The Cameras Screen: Settings Tab

Drag the slider left or right to adjust the sensitivity of the camera’s motion sensor.

• OFF: The motion sensor is disabled and will not detect motion activity. Use this setting to conserve

the camera's battery life when activity monitoring is not needed. For example, when the camera is

being charged or when positioning the camera during installation, you can turn o the motion sensor.

You can still start live video from the camera at any time.

• LOW: The motion sensor is less sensitive and will detect motion activity within a short range only.

• HIGH: The motion sensor is more sensitive and will detect motion activity over a longer distance.

TIP

Every home environment is unique, so we recommend experimenting with the motion sensitivity setting

to nd out which works best for yours. For example, if your camera is overlooking a high trac area,

you may want to turn down the motion sensitivity to only detect objects that are within the camera’s

immediate area. This will prevent unnecessary recordings of background activity further away such as your

neighbor walking on the sidewalk. That being said, you may also turn up the motion sensitivity to record

as much as possible if this is something you desire. Just be aware that the more activity your camera is

detecting and recording daily, the more battery it will consume.

Drag the slider left or right to adjust the time—1 minute, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes—that must elapse

before the motion sensor can be triggered again by another motion activity.

TIP

Temporarily set a longer sleep period for the motion sensor when you know that there’s ongoing activity

within the vicinity of the camera like someone mowing the grass in the backyard or guests walking in and

out of a party. This will prevent unnecessary recordings and help to conserve battery life.
