Motion Detection 2.0 for Slim Line I Doorbell Cameras

Applies to Slim Line I Wi-Fi Doorbell Cameras (ADC-VDB105/106). Motion Detection 2.0 pairs enhanced video-based motion detection with the existing PIR sensor and is enabled by default on newly enrolled devices with supported firmware.

Required Firmware

  • ADC-VDB105/106 on firmware 3058+ Required
  • Motion Detection 1.0 refers to firmware 3052 or lower (still selectable in settings).

Motion Detection 1.0 vs 2.0 

Feature Motion Detection 1.0 Motion Detection 2.0
PIR (infrared) Uses the full screen Uses the full screen
Video motion layer Full-screen motion detection Enhanced motion detection using a fixed lower portion of the frame (where people/pets typically appear)
Object size Not explicitly configurable Object size matters (helps ignore tiny/irrelevant movement)
Sensitivity slider Adjusts the seconds of continuous motion required before a trigger Adjusts detection area scaling and the minimum object size (higher = more sensitive)
PIR override “Extremely High” sensitivity disables PIR

Automatic Settings After Firmware Upgrade

When upgrading from 3052 or lower to 3058+, the doorbell auto-maps old settings to the new mode:

Firmware Before Sensitivity Before After Upgrade (3058+)
3052 or lower Medium Sensitivity: Medium
Mode: 1.0
3052 or lower Low, High, Very High, or Extremely High Sensitivity: Medium
Mode: 2.0
3054 (beta) Any Sensitivity: Retained
Mode: 2.0

Quick Tips for Best Results

  • Mount to cover approach paths so motion appears in the lower portion of the frame.
  • If you get too many pings, lower sensitivity or increase minimum object size (2.0).
  • For missed events, raise sensitivity one step and re-test.
  • Remember: “Extremely High” in 2.0 disables PIR—use thoughtfully.
