Motion detection works by comparing successive video images. So if the pattern of light changes between frames a change in pixels the smart camera concludes that something has moved and starts to record. As it begins to record, it also sends you an alert. The camera determines when enough has changed based on the motion detection settings see below. There are different methods of motion detection, i. e. infrared heat vision and microwave. We won’t get too much into the deeper technical aspects in this piece. The basic principle is the same for most cameras. The first thing you need to do is position the camera where you intend to keep it. It’s a good idea to start the motion detection at a low setting on your smart phone.
