Difference between setting motion sensitivity in Rules vs Device Utility?

What's the difference between setting the motion sensiyivity in Rules vs setting motion sensitivity in device utility?

The Motion Detection Test is just a test to get a number to plug into your rules. A global setting would be problematic since you might want different settings in different modes.

It appears this is no longer the case - I can set two different settings for the same camera, one in Device Utilities and one in Mode, and both appear to be saved.  I can kill the app, go back in and both settings are set (differently).   So I'd also be interested in knowing the difference.....

You're right - I just checked. However, the motion detection test is still only a test. While the setting is now saved, it isn't applied anyplace - it's there for you to transfer to your rules for the camera.
