Motion Detection sensitivity

ArloNewbie — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 01:56:41 GMT

How can I adjust the motion detection sensitivity so my camera only detects significant motion verses my small pet wondering around the house?

Hello ArloNewbie,

One of the great features about the Arlo system is that you can adjust the camera's sensitivity to motion. This works especially well when small pets are in the home while everyone else is out and about. The default setting is 80% sensitive and works well in most installations. However, if you find your little four legged loved one is triggering motion too often you can scale down the sensitivity to say 60% and test it out. It may take a few tries to get it dialed in precisely how you want it.

For more information please visit: How do I adjust motion sensitivity.

Thank you for choosing NETGEAR!

Hello. I was reading this because I had the same question. I clicked on the link to learn how to adjust sensitivity . I don't see the sensitivity slider in the rules section under if the following motion is detected. Only how many videos are created. Can you please advise? Thanks

I'd love to know how you adjust the motion detection sensitivity after this new update, since when going to settings... The rules tab has gone and I've searched everywhere for the solution. Please help as I'm ready to just ditch the whole setup.

SID007,

Take a look at this article: How do I adjust motion and sound sensitivity?

It covers how to adjust the sensitivity settings step by step.

I hope this helps!

They updated the app and now I can't find the sensitivity setting at all. Did the new app get rid of that option?

The sensitivity setting is in the rule for each camera. Mode, devices, edit the specific mode of interest and then pick the camera. Click on Detects Motion and set the sensitivity.

The sensitivity slider now goes off screen on iPad and I cannot activate the new setting? What do I do?

I haven't seen this but one way to set things would be to use a computer instead. Not sure why your display would do that.

Hoping the respected contributors can help out. I'm going into the Motion Detection Test for my camera to change the sensitivity, but I don't notice a "save" button, so my new sensitivity setting never gets saved. I change the slider to the new sensitivity setting I want, click "back", and when I go back into the Motion Detection Test it's back to the old sensitivity setting. The save button is grayed out in the main settings page for the camera. I must be missing something obvious, hope someone can point it out to me. Thanks.

There is a button on right side of slider. Set sensitivity and click that button to save.

That must be on iOS. No such button on Android or the web. Simply go back and choose save from there.
