Next Motion Detection Sensor Configuration & Installation Guide

Overview

The Next Wireless Motion Detection Sensor senses motion using a passive infrared (PIR) element. The PIR element detects relative changes in temperature caused by people, animals, or objects moving through the viewing area. Once the sensor detects movement, it communicates with iMonnit. You can set up notifications in iMonnit to alert you when there’s motion.
