# Noorio App FAQ: Motion Detection, Modes & Automation

# Motion Detection, Modes & Automation

## How does motion detection work, and how do I optimize it?

Battery cameras use a PIR sensor: when it detects a heat source (like a person), the camera wakes and records.
- Install the camera within **~20–30 ft** of the detection area; mount it in a corner so movement crosses the field of view.
- Avoid pointing at **glass, air vents, or A/C** to reduce false triggers.
- Tune settings in **Device Settings → Smart Detection** (Activity Zone, Detection Types, Sensitivity 7–30 ft) and **Power Management → Customized** (Video Length 10–120 s, Retrigger Interval 5–60 s).

## There's a delay between motion events

By default there is a retrigger interval — after one event, the next detection happens ~1 minute later (default 60 s). Change it in live view → **Power Management → Customized → edit Retriggered Interval**. Shorter intervals and longer clips consume more battery.

## What are the four Security modes?

On the **Security** page you can configure **Home, Away, Sleep, and Disarmed** modes. For each mode you set device behavior: **Record Videos, Push Notification, and Camera Alarm**. You must select a location first (tap the top-left corner).

## How do I switch modes?

- **Manually** on the home page.

- **By Schedule:** Security → Schedule → create rules.

- **By Geofencing:** Security → Geofencing → set your home location and enable it (the app needs your location to know if you're home).

## Geofencing isn't working (iOS)

Allow the app **Always** and **Precise Location**, and allow it to **run in the background**.

## My schedule triggers at the wrong time

- Reset your **Time Zone** (sidebar → User Settings → Time Zone).

- Recheck the device behavior for the relevant mode (Security → e.g. Disarmed).

- There may be a brief switching delay; also make sure the app is updated.

## The camera still triggers in Disarmed mode

- Confirm the app is actually in **Disarmed** mode.

- Confirm **Recording** and **Siren** are turned off for that device under Security → Disarmed.

- Switching can take a short moment. If it still triggers, send support the device **ID** (under the QR code, starts with `A0` or `00`) and the approximate time so our team can investigate.

## How do I turn off the alarm/siren?

On the bottom bar tap **Security**, then turn off **Camera Alarm** for the device in each of the four modes.

## What is Automation?

On the **Automation** page tap **Create an Automation** to link devices — one device acts as a trigger to make other devices perform an action.
