####Radar motion sensors
What are radar motion sensors?

Radar motion sensors use electromagnetic waves in the millimeter range to detect motion. This technology is used in the Eyes outdoor camera II.

#####How it works

Detection range: The sensors can detect motion in a 180° radius.

Range: They detect motion at a distance of up to 8 meters. The actual range may vary depending on the environment and mounting height of the Eyes outdoor camera II.

Radar sensors are particularly reliable and accurate, making them ideal for security applications.

####Advantages of radar motion sensors on the Eyes outdoor camera II

The Eyes outdoor camera II is equipped with advanced radar motion sensors. These offer several advantages:

#####Precise motion detection

Detection of movements: The sensors detect movements in the vicinity of the Eyes outdoor camera II.

Additional information: They also capture the distance and direction of movement relative to the Eyes outdoor camera II.

#####Customizable functions

Motion light: You can set the motion light to activate only for movements in specific areas. For example:
Street: Avoid unnecessary light for movements on the street.

Neighboring property: Prevent the light from turning on for movements on the neighboring property.

These functions help reduce false alarms and use the Eyes outdoor camera II more efficiently.

####Using the radar motion sensors for clip recording

Yes, the radar motion sensors are additionally used as a trigger for recording video clips with the Eyes outdoor camera II. Here are the key points:

Event detection: The camera uses both video analysis (motion in the image) and the radar motion sensors to detect motion.

Additional verification: The radar motion sensors verify whether motion has been detected before a video clip is recorded.

Distance setting: You can set the distance within which motion should lead to clip recording.

This combination of video analysis and radar technology ensures precise and reliable detection of motion.

####Physical Properties of Radar Sensors

Radar sensors are useful for motion detection and work by emitting waves that are reflected by objects in the detection range. Here are some important physical properties you should know:

#####Wave Reflection

Reflective Surfaces: Radar waves can be reflected on smooth surfaces such as glass. This can lead to unwanted triggers or inaccurate position determinations.

Materials: Different materials reflect radar waves with varying intensity. Metallic surfaces reflect radar waves more strongly than non-metallic surfaces.

#####Environmental Influences

Interference Sources: Other electronic devices or structures in the environment can affect the accuracy of the radar sensors.

Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and snow can impair the propagation of radar waves and reduce sensor performance.

#####Positioning and Alignment

Mounting Height and Angle: The height and angle at which the Eyes Outdoor Camera II is mounted affect the detection range and accuracy of the sensors.

Clear Line of Sight: Ensure that no obstacles block the line of sight of the radar sensor on the Eyes Outdoor Camera II to achieve optimal results.

#####Types of Motion

Speed and Direction: The radar sensors detect motion based on the speed and direction of objects. Slow or stationary objects may be harder to detect.

By understanding these properties, you can optimize the performance of your radar sensors and minimize unwanted triggers.

####Position of the radar sensors in the Eyes outdoor camera II

The Eyes outdoor camera II has two radar sensors. These are installed in the upper part of the camera behind the lampshade.

#####Important note:

Due to the coverage by the housing, movements directly under the lamp cannot be detected.

This information helps you to better understand the functionality and detection ranges of the radar sensors.

####Event Detection and Radar Sensors

Yes, there is a way to disable detection by the radar sensors for event detection. Here is the most important information:

#####How Event Detection Works

Video Analysis: Detects movements in the image

Radar Sensors: Additionally check whether a movement was detected.

This AND combination of radar and video analysis depends on the sensitivity setting:

####Sensitivity Settings

The sensitivity settings determine whether the radar sensors are used in addition to video analysis:

Top two sensitivity levels: Radar sensors are not used

Only the video analysis triggers the video clip recording.

#####Advantages of the Highest Sensitivity Levels

Detection of movements or persons outside the radar detection range.
Detection of movements of objects that are too small for the radar sensors.
Detection of movements behind glass panes.

By adjusting the sensitivity settings, you can disable the radar sensors for event detection and rely exclusively on video analysis.

####Status LED of the Eyes outdoor camera II
