Using Motive to Aim BTSensors
For tracking to occur, BTSensors must be positioned around the perimeter of the tracking area and aimed
towards the area. Tracking occurs in an area when 2 or more BTSensors view the same area at the same
time. A video feed of what BTSensors see is shown in Motive. By viewing the BTSensor’s video feed in the
visible spectrum, BTSensor positioning can be evaluated.
Attention: The Space origin must be visible to at least 2 BTSensors for sensor calibration to function
correctly.
Note: To quickly see a BTSensor’s video feed in the visible spectrum, change the preset setting of the
BTSensor to Reference. See To select a preset setting for a BTSensor for more information.
