Sliding the button to the right increases sensitivity up to a 100 percent response;
sliding the left decreases sensitivity down to zero response. If people normally are
moving about during the day but no one is likely to be present at night, you may
want to set the day and night sensitivities to low and high respectively. Generally, you
should start out above the midpoint for an active sensitivity setting. If you find that
you’re getting too many false alerts, decrease the sensitivity.
Make sure to apply (save) changes before leaving the Motion and Notification
settings. A “Set Successfully” message should appear.

With motion detection enabled, you can also choose from several alert types:
Snapshots to take still pictures and Record to start video recording. Depending on
how you’ve adjusted your mobile device, the camera’s motion alert appears as a text
message accompanied by a three-note chime.
Note
: The I/O alarm and I/O output settings visible in the screen images are relevant
for the i8 model but not the i6. The i6 does not contain ports for attaching devices.
Masking
Using the i6's Android app, you can mask parts of the frame so that motion in those
portions of the picture won’t trigger alerts. (Masking was not available to iOS and
computer users when this manual went to press.) Under the Motion Detection setting,
touch Mask settings. A live view of the area in front of the camera will appear overlaid
by a grid pattern. Touching particular squares in the grid or running your finger across
contiguous squares will turn them gray. Once you click OK, grayed-out portions of the
picture are masked so that motion in those areas won’t trigger a recording or an alert.
Partial masking of the frame is useful where, for example, a ceiling fan is active or a
pet paces the floor.
Note:
Make sure the camera’s live view is suitably framed before you use the
masking feature since swiping the image in a particular direction won’t move the
camera when the app is in masking mode.
