PIR SENSITIVITY
PIR Sensitivity allows you to control the sensitivity of
the motion sensor. HIGH sensitivity allows for more
distance, but will make the camera slightly more susceptible to false triggers - this is ideal for large
open areas. LOW sensitivity shortens the distance but lowers the chance of false triggers - this is
ideal for close range and deeply wooded scenarios.
