For environments with frequent movement or to optimize battery life, it is recommended to set the sensitivity to "Disabled" or "Low" to minimize false alerts and reduce device wake-up cycles.
- Disabled: PIR detection is turned off.
- Low: Triggers an alert with a 7-second delay after motion is detected.
- Medium: Triggers an alert with a 5-second delay after motion is detected.
- High: Triggers an alert with a 1-second delay after motion is detected.

6. SPECIAL NOTES!
- Battery Life: The device is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Its lifespan is influenced by the frequency of device wake-ups. In environments with high activity, it is recommended to disable or reduce the PIR sensor's sensitivity to minimize device wake-ups and extend battery life. Please charge the battery promptly when its level is low.
- Wi-Fi Signal: Ensure the device remains within the operational range of your Wi-Fi router. It is crucial to maintain a stable and strong Wi-Fi signal, especially if there are thick or insulating materials between the device and the router.
- Low Power Consumption Design: This device is designed for low power consumption. Each time the device is activated, it operates for a short duration before entering standby mode to conserve power. The active work times can be configured through the app settings.
- Push Notifications (Mainland China): For users located in mainland China, it may be necessary to enable the app's self-starting function within your phone's settings to ensure reliable receipt of push messages, as direct support for Google's system push messages might be limited.
- Cloud Storage Trial: The device includes a complimentary one-month trial of cloud storage services. If you wish to continue using these value-added services after the trial period concludes, you will need to purchase a subscription through the app.
