How to adjust motion sensitivity

Steps for adjusting the motion sensitivity.

Updated over a week ago

Motion sensitivity may need to be adjusted for the following reasons:

  • Improve motion detection sensitivity, particularly if you have only a few SuperPods and/or WiFi-connected devices

  • Motion detection may be difficult in some areas of your home due to obstructions or layout.

  • Reduce false motion alerts because of your pets or robotic vacuums.

What are the sensitivity options?

  • Low (less sensitive to motion intensity)

  • Medium (default)

  • High (more sensitive to motion intensity)

If you choose High sensitivity, you can also enable the Have pets in your home option to help filter out their movement in your home. This increases the duration of movement needed to trigger an alert from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.

After choosing your sensitivity setting, you can use the Live view to test the results in the areas of your home where you want to detect motion.

How do I change motion sensitivity?

  1. From the Home page, scroll down to the Activity section.

  2. Tap on Live View under the Motion tab.

    • The Motion Live view is only visible if Motion detection is enabled.

  3. Tap the Gear icon on the top right of the Motion screen.

  4. Choose your Motion Sensitivity option.

    • (Optional) Toggle the Have pets in your home if the High sensitivity is selected.
