   Locate motion settings

   Within the device control panel, tap on the Motion Settings tile. If your system requires it, select Motion Zones from the sub-menu to visualize the current detection field overlaying your camera's live view.

   Define the detection zone

   Use your finger to drag the corner handles of the existing polygon or shape on the screen. Adjust the boundaries to exclude public sidewalks, high-traffic streets, or areas with moving vegetation that trigger frequent false positives.

   Note: Ensure your front entryway and walkway are fully enclosed within the blue-shaded area.

   Set motion sensitivity

   Locate the sensitivity slider on the screen. Drag it toward the left to reduce sensitivity for busier environments or toward the right if you are missing events occurring at the edge of your property.

   Note: Incremental testing is recommended: start at 50 percent and adjust over a 24-hour period.
