Understanding the motion
detection process

This light has dual motion detection technologies.

Ƒ The light is controlled by a 180° PIR (passive

infra-red) sensor. This sensor detects a
temperature difference moving in front of it.
When motion is detected after dark, the light will
come on at the selected “Full Bright Intensity”
level.

Ƒ The camera uses both the 180° PIR sensor as

well as a 100° image sensor located within the
camera software. The camera’s image sensor
will not activate unless the PIR sensor rst
detects a moving temperature difference within
the detection zone. The camera will record
motion day or night.
