Need help understanding the motion sensitivity

I currently find the motion sensitivity slider in the mobile app to be conflicting, as it can be interpreted in 2 ways. All the way to the right, makes it seem that someone needs to be running or making a lot of movement to trigger it, while on the left, it makes it seem as if hardly any movement is needed. Though commonly with some systems, a higher number may mean more sensitivity.

The same is with the audio sensitivity, the numbers and the icons are conveying 2 opposite messages.

Still confused.... Is it more sensitive to the LEFT? i.e. Lower number or do I aim for Highest %???????

I could trigger the ProCamera at lower % than 100% but by the time I was finished I arbitarily left it in the middle at 50%.

Higher sensitivity is to the right with bigger numbers.
