The sensor uses pyroelectric effect. Due to the effects of environment temperature, direct sunlight or air conditioner, it may detect the temperature differences by mistake, or the detection range may be shortened.

It may take some time to transfer images depending on the network condition.

1 lx is the brightness about 2.5 m (8.2 feet) away from auxiliary fluorescent light. Color night view mode slows down the frame rate, and images may blur when viewing a moving object or using the pan/tilt operation.
