Night Vision & Motion Sensitivity

BirdWatcherNY — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 16:17:49 GMT

For the Arlo Pro, does the Motion Sensitivity change when the camera goes into Night Vision? Should I adjust the Sensitivity when Night Mode goes on?

For example, if I have the Sensitivity set at 80% during the day, will the camera still have this level of detection when it goes into Night Vision, or does it go down? In this example, should I up the sensitivity to 90%? Or can I leave it and know that it's still detecting sensitivity at the same level?

The sensitivity remains at whatever setting you have in your mode. Some folks like to use a lower setting during the day due to false triggers and then raise it at night. To do this, create your own custom modes and use the schedule to automate the process.

Thanks! But I see I wasn't clear in what I was asking.

What I meant was, does 80% Sensitivity during the day pick up the same as 80% Sensitivity in Night Mode? IOW, does the actual motion detection change in Night Mode? Assuming the settings stay the same.

There's no change in sensitivity relative to the camera daytime vs. night. Only if you change the setting will there be a difference.
