PIR Sensor Detecting Distance

The PIR senor has 3 sensitivity levels for your adjustment: Low/Mid/High.
Higher sensitivity offers longer detecting distance. The default sensitivity of the PIR sensor is at “High”.

Sensitivity| Value| Detecting Distance (For moving and living things)| Detecting Distance (For moving vehicles)
---|---|---|---
Low| 0 – 50| Up to 4 meters (13ft)| Up to 10 meters (33ft)
Mid| 51 – 80| Up to 6 meters (20ft)| Up to 12 meters (40ft)
High| 81 – 100| Up to 10 meters (33ft)| Up to 16 meters (52ft)

Note:

Path for adjusting distance in App: Device settings-PIR settings

Important Notes for Reducing False Alarms

To reduce false alarms, please note that:

• Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
• Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving vehicles. Based on our numerous tests, the recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle is 16 meters (52ft).
• Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat transfer vents of projectors, etc.
• Do not install the camera where there are strong winds.
• Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
• Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.

PIR Sensor Installation Angle

When installing the camera, please install the camera angularly (the angle between the sensor and the detected object is larger than 10°) for effective motion detection. If the moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the sensor may not detect the motion events.

(Entrance)

FYI:

• The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 23ft (in default)
• The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 120° (H)

Camera Ideal Viewing Distance

The ideal viewing distance is 2-10 meters (7-33ft), which enables you to recognize a human.

Charge the Battery

1. Charge the battery when it’s installed to the camera.

2. Charge the battery separately.

3. Charge the battery with the Reolink solar panel
