4.1.9 Setting PIR Sensitivity

This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR. There are three degrees: High,
Normal and Low with default value "Normal". The higher degree indicates that the
camera is more easily to be triggered by motion, taking more pictures or recording
more videos. It is recommended to use high sensitivity degree in room or environment
with little interference, and to use lower sensitivity for outdoor or environment with
lots of interference like hot wind, smoke, near window etc. Furthermore, the
sensitivity of the PIR is strongly related to the temperature. Higher temperature leads
to lower sensitivity. Therefore it is suggested to set a higher sensitivity for high
temperature environment.
The following shows you how to set PIR sensitivity as "Low" provided that the
previous value is "Normal" in MENU state:
a) Press the UP or DOWN key till the parameter "Sensor Level" appears as
shown in the Fig. 13(a) and 13(1).
b) Press the RIGHT key till the value changes to "Low" as shown in the Fig.

shown in the Fig. 13(c) and 13(3).
