Chapter 1. Introduction
This Motion Sensor is designed to be used for indoor inactivity detection. When mounted properly, It can
monitor large and open areas of your home like the main entrance, living room, and family room. When the
system does not detect motion for a time period that surpasses the preset inactivity threshold time that you
designate in the Home8 app, the app will automatically send out inactivity alerts.
Key features and specifications:
RF Center Frequency: 433.92MHz
Operating Range: Up to 100 feet (line of sight)
Operating Temperature : 5°F to 104°F (-15°C to 40°C)
Battery: Panasonic CR123A non-rechargeable battery
Inactivate period: 1~24hrs, 1 hour per step
“Away”mode available to disable sensor
1.1 System Requirement
This section explains the system requirement.
Network: Proprietary 433MHz RF protocol, must co-work with Mivatek’s OPU2/OPU3 shuttle

Chapter 3. Sensor Installation & Add/Remove Sensor into System
3.1 Sensor installation
1. Release cover tab to open the cover.
2. Insert CR123A battery, and put the cover back.
(Please make sure the battery polarity before inserting.)
3. Sensor itself takes around 10 seconds to warm up, and LED will blink 7 times during sensor warm
up.
4. Sensor detects range, pattern, angle, and recommends installation height:
3.2 Adding the Sensor to the System
Before you begin using the sensor, it needs to be added to the Home8 system first. To activate the sensor
with the Security Shuttle, complete the following steps.
Note:
1. Make sure the Security Shuttle is powered on and connected to your router.
2. We recommend NOT installing the battery before sensor is successfully activated to avoid false alarm
during pairing.

3.3 Positioning & Installing Sensor
After the “sensor adding” process has been completed, you can place the device at the desired location. For
best performance, we recommend to face the sensor to open area, and place the sensor at least 2 meters
above the ground. For details on installing, please refer to the picture below:
Note:
Keep lens and sensor as clean as possible for best sensor performance.
3.4 Remove Sensor from System

Ignore any motion that occurs in this 10-second window
For any motion that occurs in this 3-minute countdown window
(1) Treat as same motion, will NOT send any alert to Shuttle
(2) Reset and re-count the 3-minute window

4.2 Inactive Period, and no activity alert
Inside Home8 app, user can set “Inactive Period”from 1hour to 24hours, one hour per step. In the meantime,
sensor will continuously monitor & send motion status to Security Shuttle, and it will use this data to
determine the activity status. If the duration of 2 consecutive motions are longer than the preset time
threshold that can be set by using Home8 app, Shuttle will send out “inactivity”alert, and app will pop out a
notification as below.

4.3 Low battery alert
This sensor can automatically detect current battery status, and report “low battery”when battery level is
too low.
When “low battery”happens, LED indicator on the sensor will blink constantly, and app will also show “low
battery alert from sensor”notification as below:
4.4 Device detachment detection
This sensor has a built-in tamper switch to detect the status of the front cover. When the front cover is
opened, LED indicator will blink 1 time, and app will also show “Device detachment detected”notification as
below.

Appendix –Glossary of Terms
Arm: The cameras and other security related sensors in the system are actively monitoring the surroundings. Any
suspicious activity that has been detected by the camera or sensor will prompt the app to immediately send a
notification. A recording will also be performed by the camera(s) that witnessed the event.
Disarm: The cameras and other security related sensors in the system are no longer actively monitoring the
surroundings. The system will not react to any suspicious activity detected by these devices. No notification will be
sent.
Note: If the continuous recording function is turned on, video recording will always work regardless if the system is
armed or disarmed. For more details regarding the continuous recording function, see Section 6.8 Turn On/Off
Continuous Recording.
Event: An event is created when any camera or sensor detects an activity, or is manually triggered by the user.
Security Shuttle: Functions as a secure and intelligent hub to manage the devices and communicate with the cloud
server. Currently, there are three types –OPU1120, OPU2120, and OPU3120.
