Zoom and Motion Detection

cpeplinski — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 20:34:15 GMT

Hey

Just installed my system and the motion detection on one camera in front of my house is triggering when a cat walks in front of the camera from over 30 ft away. I went to play with the sensitivity but today is windy and even at 10% the motion detection gets triggered every minute or two by plants or shadows. Can you zoom in and the motion detection will only use the target screen for motion detection?

Are you adjusting and saving sensitivity in your modes? The Motion Detection test won't save - it has to be in the modes and rules.

No ...even if you zoom in the PIR device ( detects motion ) covers the entire field of view

I am doing it in Modes. I had one done to 10% today and my palm tree across the yard was setting off all day in the wind.
