Notes on PIR Motion Sensor

PIR Sensor Detection Distance

The PIR detection range can be turned to meet your specific needs. You may refer to the following table to set it up in Reolink App Device Settings.

Sensitivity	Value	Detection Distance(For moving and living objects)
Low	0 – 50	Up to 5 meters (16ft)
Mid	51 – 80	Up to 8 meters (26ft)
High	81 – 100	Up to 10 meters (33ft)

NOTE: Higher sensitivity ofgers longer detecting distance, but it would lead to more false alarms. It’s recommended to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or “Mid” when you install the camera outdoors.

Important Notes on Reducing False Alarms

Do not face the camera towards any objects with bright lights, including sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
Do not place the camera too close to a place with heavytraffic. Based on our numerous tests, the recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle would be 16 meters (52ft).

Do not install the camera at places with strong wind.
Do not face the camera towards a mirror.
Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including WiFi routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
