Aiming Your Camera
PIR Motion Detector
The Passive Infrared Motion Detector on your HyperFire 2
™ camera is aligned
with the camera lens to give you the best chance of capturing subjects that come
into the field of view of the camera, while not triggering on subjects outside the
view of the camera.
The motion detector can detect movement up to 100 feet (30 m) away. However,
the detection range is dependent on the size and temperature of the subject
(relative to ambient temp) as well as the speed at which the subject is moving.
The HyperFire 2
™ Motion Detector consists of
a horizontal detection band
(shown in red). Camera aim is critical to maximize detection range.
For the camera to trigger two things need to happen:
1)
An object with a temperature different from the background temperature
must be present within the field of view of the motion detector (shown in red)
(i.e. something warmer or colder than the ambient temperature).
2)
That object (with a temperature differential) must move horizontally within the
active zone approximately 1/8 of the way across the field of view of the
camera.
