to adjust the sensitivity, please launch your Uniden Solo App, and then click “Device Settings” -> “PIR
Settings” and click the “save” button to save the settings.
Note:
Higher sensitivity offers longer detecting distance, but it would
lead to more false alarms.
You are advised to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or “Mid”
when you install the camera outdoors.

Detecting Distance
(For moving and
living things)
Detecting Distance

For reducing false alarms, please note that:
• Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including sunshine,
bright lamplights, etc.
• Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving
vehicles. The recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle is
15 meters
• Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidier outlets,
the heat transfer vent of projectors, etc.
• Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
• Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi
routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.

Cover the Monitoring Area
When installing the camera, it’s not suggested to
make the PIR sensor vertically face the moving
object. Please note that if the moving object
approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the PIR sensor
may not detect the motion events. You are advised to
install the camera angularly (the angle between the
PIR sensor and the detected object is larger than 10°)
for effective motion detection.
For reference:
• The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 6m
(by default)
• The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 120° (H)
