Before you begin
Connect your camera to your internet router:
Quick video
Watch the video below to see a demonstration of the motion detection settings and where to view the notifications:
1. Let’s get started
Open the Green Feathers app, select your camera and go to the live view screen.
2. Alarm Settings
Tap on the icon called 'Alarm':
Motion Detection Alarm
Tap this switch to enable or disable motion detection.
Alarm Sensitivity Level
Adjust the amount of motion required to trigger motion detection. We recommend setting it to medium at first, then depending on the number of unwanted motion triggers received, you can turn it up or down.
Schedule
Specify a time when to turn recording on, and when to turn it off. See below for more information.
4. Schedule settings
Setting up a schedule is useful if you only want recording (whether continuously or via motion detection) to be on some of the time.
For example, if you wanted to have the camera set to record at night time only, you could set it to enable motion detection at 11pm every day, and disable it at 6am every day. Go to Schedule settings then tap the 'Add' button:
Time
Here you can select a time to turn recording on or off. In this example I am turning it on at 2:50pm every day:
Repeating
If you tap on the 'Repeat' button you can choose which days you want to enable recording at 2:50pm, in the example below I have chosen to set it to run every day:
Note
If you tap on the 'Note' button you can write a note to associate with this automated schedule:
Notifications
If you set the schedule to disable notifications it will not send notifications during the specified period. This feature is useful because you could set the camera to leave the motion detection feature on, but to disable the notifications at night.
When you are finished, tap 'Save' at the top right of the screen.
Of course, there's no point in setting the motion detection to be turned on every day if it's never being turned off in the first place! So we need to make the counterpart to our first schedule, a second schedule to turn the motion detection off at a certain time.
In the example below I have set it to disable recording at 3pm, and set it to run every day of the week as well. This means that my camera will enable recording at 2:50pm every day, and disable it at 3:00pm every day.
Now your schedule settings can be viewed from the main Schedule page:
5. Viewing notifications
To see your motion alerts, go to the main device list page of the Green Feathers app and tap on the 'Me' button at the bottom right:
Now tap on 'Message Center':
Here you can see motion alerts and additional information:
