Set up Motion Sensitivity on Reolink Client

Applies to:

All Reolink cameras except for the battery-powered ones.

Step 1. Log into your Reolink Client. Click the “Device Settings” icon , and then click “Motion”.

Step 2. Set up the motion detection “Sensitivity”.

Sensitivity: The “Sensitivity” setting is controlled by a slider, allowing you to set a value between 1 to 50. Drag the slider to the left side to make the camera more sensitive, and to the right side to make it less sensitive.

For example:

level 1: It will trigger motion when there is 0.5% of the video area with moving object.

level 50: It will trigger motion when there is 10% of the video area with moving object.

You can define different motion sensitivity values for four periods of time. You can change each period’s starting and ending time to best match the changing lighting conditions in your location.

It is recommended to set the sensitivity higher (1~40) in daytime and lower (40~50) at night time.

To find the best sensitivity values for different times of day/night, it’s best to test the system during different time periods. Get an able-bodied volunteer to move around in front of the cameras you’d like to tune the sensitivity for. The ideal sensitivity level is that your volunteer’s moving always triggers the motion detection, but there are no false triggers (or very few) when your volunteer isn’t moving.
