Arlo Pro 4 camera sensitivity settings

In the app, if I go into Mode, Armed, If motion on (camera name), Motion detected...there then is a slider called "Motion Sensitivity". By default it seems to be set to 80. I have always assumed that setting the number to higher (like 100) would mean it was more sensitive and would pick up motion quicker. But there are icon of a man standing still at the low end of the slider, and an icon of a running man at the high end of the slider. To me, I could interpret that to mean that there needs to be a lot of motion (like a man running) to trigger the motion detection at the higher levels. That is opposite from what I assumed. So which is it?? Higher settings = less sensitive or more sensitive?

100 is the most sensitive setting, 1 is the least sensitive.

Are you sure? Doesn't the icon indicate otherwise?

I am sure.

But I agree the icon is open to interpretation.
