The camera utilizes PIR motion detection to identify movement. When motion is detected, you will receive instant alerts on your connected device (smartphone, smartwatch, tablet). The camera can also activate a siren and spotlight alarm to deter intruders.

• AI Recognition: Advanced AI algorithms help reduce false alerts by distinguishing between humans, pets, vehicles, and packages.
• Customizable Motion Zones: Define specific areas within the camera's view where you want motion detection to be active, minimizing unnecessary alerts.
• Scheduled Alerts: Set specific time periods for when you wish to receive motion alerts, such as during nighttime hours.
