[Q] The motion detection doesn’t seem to be working?
[A] In order to drastically reduce false alerts, Pivot uses a smart algorithm to
determine when motion detected is of importance or not. The smart motion
detection algorithms ensure that you receive useful information from your Pivot
so that you have the best user experience possible. Some types of motion that
the smart algorithms eliminate are:
• Motion detected when you’re constantly in the room. If you’re in the same
room as your Pivot for a long period of time, Pivot will be able to sense
your presence and it will not trigger a new motion alert.
• The motion detection algorithms will help eliminate alerts caused by
negligible objects like shadows.
For more information on motion detection, please visit the support page.
[Q] Can the Pivot follow you as you move?
[A] As of now, the Pivot cannot track movement. The Pivot can detect motion
using two methods. If motion is detected using the camera’s video feed, then
the Pivot will stand still and capture the motion that is in the Pivot’s field-of-
view. If the motion is detected using the microwave array built around its body,
the Pivot will rotate because the motion captured was outside of it’s field-of-
view.
