Hello @Piccolino ,

Well, for the Alarm Motion Sensors, you don’t actually adjust the distance on them. But rather, you adjust the Sensitivity/Detection (Low, Medium, and High).

To adjust the Sensitivity Detection:

  • Menu (the 3 horizontal line icon, upper-left-corner of Dashboard page) > Devices > Alarm Base Station > select the Motion Detector > Motion Settings > select Low or Medium or High > SAVE (upper-right-corner).

Once you adjust your settings on your Alarm Motion Sensor, you can then test it to see if you are getting the desired detection you are looking for:

I hope you find this information helpful. :slight_smile:
