✅[Round 42 | aosu Security Quiz] Motion Detection Check: When Your Camera Misses Movement

Double the rewards Round :wrapped_gift:


:bullseye: Q: Why is my camera not detecting some motion events?

Picture this: Your camera is on, the battery looks fine, and everything seems normal in the app. :mobile_phone::white_check_mark:

But then you notice something strange…

A car passed by, a pet walked across the yard, or someone moved near the camera — but no event was recorded. :worried:

Your first thought might be: “Is my camera not working?”

Not always. Sometimes, motion detection just needs the right settings and environment to work properly. :gear:

These could be the possible reasons why your camera may not detect some motion events and how to fix it:

Human only is turned on at the detection settings. Turn it off and set detection sensitivity to max.

Wi-fi signal is below 80%. Move the camera closer to the wi-fi base and restart the camera.

Scheduled sleep is turned on. Turn it off.

Ensure firmware is up to date.

Ensure the camera is not facing a crowded road or a very narrow view .
