Motion Sensitivity - What Does It Mean

I know HOW to change the sensitivity, but what does it mean? Does the "walking" icon mean the camera is slow to come on (less sensitive) or that it is MORE sensitive because it detects slow movements? Which setting is the MOST sensitive. Am I being too literal?

To the left (lower number) is less sensitive, to the right (higher number) is more sensitive.

Thank you ! And what does everyone usually put their cameras on? My husband just installed 3 and I am just getting used to them.

Most of my cameras run at 86 to 93% sense level , depending on the camera model and where placed

80% is default but when you move to increase, do a couple points at a time and retest so you don't get to many false triggers BUT do catch what you want. ( remember, with people the PIR is good to a max of arounfd 20ft so aim tight on area of interest )
