Adjust the Detecting Distance of the PIR Sensor
The default sensitivity of the PIR sensor is at “Mid” and the detecting distance is 6 meters
(20ft). If you want to adjust the sensitivity, please launch your AppCam Solo App, and then
click “Device Settings” -> “PIR Settings” and click the “Save” button to save the settings.
Note:
Higher sensitivity oers longer detecting distance, but it
would lead to more false alarms.
You are advised to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or
“Mid” when you install the camera outdoors.
Sensitivity
Detecting Distance
(For moving and
living things)
Detecting Distance
(For moving vehicles)
Low Up to 4 meters (13ft) Up to 10 meters (33ft)
Mid Up to 6 meters (20ft) Up to 12 meters (40ft)
High Up to 9 meters (30ft) Up to 15 meters (50ft)
To reduce false alarms, please note that:
• Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including
sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
• Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently
moving vehicles. Based on our numerous tests, the recommended distance
between the camera and the vehicle is 55 ft.
• Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier
outlets, the heat transfer vents of projectors, etc.
• Do not install the camera where there are strong winds.
• Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
• Keep the camera at least 3 ft away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi
routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.

Cover the Monitoring Area
When installing the camera, it’s not suggested to
make the PIR sensor vertically face the moving
object. Please note that if the moving object
approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the PIR
sensor may not detect the motion events. You are
advised to install the camera angularly (the angle
between the PIR sensor and the detected object is
larger than 10°) for eective motion detection.
FYI:
• The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 6m
(in default)
• The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 120° (H)
