Gen5: Motion Zones

Tired of that tree branch or flag in your yard triggering false positive motion alerts?

With the introduction of the SkyBell Gen5 App we provide a way to tune your motion detection! 

How To Use Motion Zones

• Go to MY DEVICES
  • Select the Gear Icon at the Top Right of the SkyBell you want to adjust.  
• If you have not done so, enable Motion Detection (click here to learn how).
  • • Tap on Motion Zones*
      • This will load a grid, you can tap on any of the spaces to darken, or black out.
        • After you chose the spaces you don't want the camera to trigger motion, tap SAVE CHANGES. 
  • To return to the previous screen select, BACK.

Helpful Tips

• Since we are trying to stop false motion triggers, you may want to select a couple of blocks around the space you believe is triggering motion. You would be surprised how much an object moves.
• If you want the SkyBell to only "see" a small amount of space, use the SELECT ALL option to block out everything, and then unselect what you DO want to see.
• For SkyBell devices like HD4.0, Trim1, and Slim1 If you disable more than 50% of the zones keep your sensitivity setting high otherwise you will lower the sensitivity too much and your SkyBell won't see anything.
