How can I adjust the human detection accuracy?
Open the Aiwit app and tap on Settings. Next, tap on Motion Settings. Here, you can select the desired human detection accuracy from three options: low, medium, and high. We recommend choosing medium. The high setting provides the strictest detection level, meaning the device will be triggered only when it is entirely certain that the moving object is a human. However, this stringent setting might cause the device to overlook a human figure, resulting in a missed notification.- High Accuracy
- The device will record videos less frequently, ensuring maximum battery life.
- Medium Accuracy
- Medium battery life.
- Low Accuracy
- The device will record videos more frequently, leading to the shortest battery life.
-
If the areas you’re monitoring experience excessive or repetitive motions, like children playing in the yard, you may receive numerous alerts, which can rapidly deplete the battery of devices. The human detection accuracy settings are designed to help you receive the notifications you want while preserving battery life.
-
How can I enable notifications on my phone?
- Open the Aiwit app. From the Device page, tap the Settings icon, then tap the Motion Detection icon. Here, you can choose whether to turn Motion Alerts on or off.
