5. Important Notes
5.1 Monitoring Principles
- Infrared Detection: Detects changes in background radiation caused by motion.
- Installation Tips:
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent false alarms.
- Ensure the sensor is placed in an optimal location for accurate detection.
5.2 Alarm Logic
- Initial Detection: If no one is detected, the sensor immediately reports an alarm upon detecting motion and starts a 30-second countdown.
- Continuous Detection: If motion continues after the countdown, the timer restarts for another 30 seconds.
- No Motion: If no motion is detected for 10 seconds after the countdown, the sensor resets to "no one state."
5.3 Testing Tips
- Correct Testing Method:
- Leave the sensor area for at least 40 seconds before reappearing to test motion detection.
- Avoid waving arms immediately after setup, as it may not trigger accurate detection.
