Motion alert & notification tips
HomeMonitor™ is equipped with a sophisticated motion
sensor which detects when motion is happening and can
alert you to it by email.
If you want to receive email alerts every time motion is detected, you may
want to take in to consideration the following tips so that you achieve the best
results and reduce the number of worthless alerts:
Active pets (or children!) may activate the motion recording
by accident
Moving cars or headlights may cause unwanted motion
recordings
Movements near busy doors or windows may set off
multiple alarms
Sunlight and reflections of the light may cause the motion
alerts to trigger
IR lights will reflect when pointed at glass and may create
false alerts
