Reolink Wireless Battery-powered Camera

Improve Your Motion Detection

Reolink battery-powered cameras have a PIR sensor on each side of the camera
and the camera detects the temperature differences between two sides to detect
motions. So it's more sensitive when a person or car is passing in front of the
camera from side to side, compared to coming towards to the camera.
Installation Tips for the Camera to Detect Motion
Tip 1: Install the camera according to its viewing field.
1. Please check the viewing angel of your camera first. Then make sure that the
monitoring area is well within its field of view.
2. The ideal viewing distance is 2-10 meters (7ft - 33ft), within which people will be
recognized. To achieve a better viewing experience, it's advised not to place the
camera too far away or too high (suggested mounting height: 2-3 meters) from the
designated monitoring area.
Ideal Viewing Distance: 2-10 meters (7-33ft)
Tip 2: Install cameras according to the detecting field of PIR motion sensors.
1. The detecting distance of PIR motion sensors is 9 meters, and the detecting
angle is 120˚ horizontally. Motions out of this range can't be detected.
2. Our PIR motion sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movement than
movement heading straight toward the camera.
