The SimpliCam® Wired Indoor Security Camera comes equipped with a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that allows it to sense contrasting temperature changes in its field of view to determine if it should send you a motion alert.

The frequency of motion alerts can be adjusted through your SimpliSafe® Mobile App or the online Web App. You can adjust the motion sensitivity to be High, Medium, or Low. Medium is the default setting—changing this will affect how much motion and what sized objects will set off the camera’s motion detection.

• High sensitivity will give you more frequent motion notifications

• Medium sensitivity is the default setting. You will receive a normal amount of notifications with this setting

• Low sensitivity will give you fewer motion notifications
