To sensitive

Dpor007 — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 02:49:29 GMT

My driveway cam is to sensitive. It picks up even the smallest leaf when it crosses the driveway. I have the motion sensitivity turned to 1%. Is there a way to turn off the motion sensitivity completely and just have the sensor pick up heat sources? I feel this would eliminate a recording every 2 minutes. I have tried everything else posted in the forums.

Make sure your not trying to cover to large an area... cam should be angled down fro 7-9ft high.

Most of the time around 80% sense works and the edges of the PIR sensor tends to be more sensitve

I'm sorry I don't have an answer but am having same issue. Camera is too sensitive and records everything. I have 2-3 recordings every minute and after 2 days the batteries are almost dead. I have lowered sensitivity but there isn't a button to save the changes so it keeps moving back to 50. Anybody have any suggestions, tired of having hundreds of recordings each night.

The SAVE button is on the prior page of edit mode settings.... as you back out one page, hit SAVE at bottom of page.

Also if your running at a 50 % sense setting and getting to many recordings, you camera may be aimed covering to much area or a road with heavy traffic... readjust view to minimized less movement. I've found settings run great at 85-90% when properly aimed to avoid un-needed movement
