![]() ![]() This pond has yet to be stocked with fish which normally eat the larvae of midge flies and mosquitoes near the water’s edge. The first problem was that he lives in a beautiful new home that was built right next to a new pond. The Orlando customer had two problems he had to overcome with motion detection. You can also program the line to not notify you if a person crosses the line from the other side of the line, making sure that alerts are only triggered when someone enters an area but not when they are leaving that said area. If someone steps across this line or set of lines you create, you will be notified of this particular motion. When you or your installer create your motion detection parameters, you can draw a line of detection from one point to another inside the camera’s field of view and program the system to notify you if someone crosses that line from a particular side of the line or from the other. Newer high-end security camera systems have upgraded their already sophisticated motion detection features by adding “line detection”. Now that I’ve seen it work flawlessly in his setup, I’m advocating all of my clients to use this game-changing feature. Not only can you talk to the individual from your mobile phone or tablet from anywhere but you can be assured that you’ll be notified only when there is an actual person there to talk to.Īs mentioned earlier, my Orlando customer found an extra way to make sure he eliminated false notifications by using a feature in his security camera system that is rarely used. This is why I recommend using a camera with a PIR feature for certain home and businesses. It only triggers the alarm when a person or animal of a particular size move into a given space. As you may already know, alarm motion detectors are not triggered by small objects or insects crawling in front of their sensor. They are primarily used in PIR motion detectors that are found in today’s home and business security alarm systems. A PIR is a Passive Infrared sensor that measures infrared light radiating from an objects field of view. One of these solutions came from a customer in Orlando Florida who experimented with our security camera system settings and came up with an even better way to make sure he knows that there is someone at his front door and that it is not another bug strolling in front of the camera lens sending false alerts.įor my customer’s who use security cameras to cover their home’s front and back door, I always suggest purchasing a 2-way audio security camera that has a PIR sensor built-in. Luckily, I found a couple of solutions that eliminate unnecessary motion alerts from security camera systems. You may find that you’re missing alerts when there is a real person or animal in the camera’s view. If you ever contacted tech support from a security camera company, you’ve already been told that the best solution is to lower the sensitivity to your motion detection settings but that can defeat the purpose of true motion detection. Motion that is detected from rain, snow or falling leaves can activate the camera system’s sense of motion. ![]() Outside weather can also be a major factor in receiving false motion notification. This can cause false positives every few seconds and drive you to near insanity every time your mobile phone or tablet notifies you that your camera senses motion. Worse yet, outdoor security cameras will detect motion from insects crawling or flying in front of the camera lenses during the day and especially at night. Most security camera systems are notorious for detecting motion indoors from fine dust particles floating around at night to the changes in light conditions indoors from sunlight creeping through the windows. If you’re reading this article then you already know that your security camera’s motion detection feature was poorly designed. ![]()
