Edit Camera Alarm Settings:
1. Open the CamHipro app.
2. Tap the settings cog on the camera you wish to edit.
3. Tap the setting 'Alarm management and notification'.
Camera Alarm Settings:
1. To turn on motion detection (the number of pixels that move from one frame to the next), toggle 'Motion detection alarm' to on.
2. To edit the sensitivity and area of the motion detection tap 'Adjust motion detection' and slide the sensitivity between 1-100. A higher sensitivity closer to 100 will require less pixel movement to trigger the alarm and a lower sensitivity closer to 1 will require more pixel movement to trigger the alarm. Adjusting the blue box area adjusts the area in which motion is detected.
- *When using the cameras for security, in order to detect vehicles and people, a sensitivity of ~10 is required for the majority of our customers**
3. To turn on human detection toggle 'Humanoid alarm' to on.
4. To ensure the camera alarm activates for both people and vehicle movement, ensure Alarm Trigger is set to alone trigger. This means the camera alarm will activate if either motion is detected (e.g. a vehicle) or a person is detected.
5. To set the camera alarm to only be active at certain times of the day, tap 'Advanced setting'. This allows you to manually customise the time you wish motion detection to be activated.
