Adjusting this setting changes how sensitive Felik's computer vision algorithms are to motion. Ideally you should never have to select the highest sensitivity setting, as it can introduce some false-positives when tracking moving objects.


Always select the lowest sensitivity setting necessary to successfully detect your pet.


Only adjust the sensitivity setting higher if Felik is having difficulty detecting your pet. An example of a "difficult to detect" animal would be a gray cat on gray floor in a dimly lit environment. In this case, turning up the sensitivity may be necessary. 


In general, Felik has an easier time detecting pets that contrast well with the floor. For example, an animal with a white coat on dark hardwood would be picked up well using a lower sensitivity setting.
