Mode 2: Movement Detection
Movement Detection Mode is used to detect movement within the camera's field of view.
The detection level can be adjusted using the onboard rotary control. The module provides three detection levels, allowing it to respond to different degrees of movement.
The onboard blue LED indicators show the currently selected level.
| LED Indicators | Level | Detection Effect | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| O | Level 1 | Detects large movements | A person walking by, arm waving, or a large card moving quickly |
| OO | Level 2 | Detects normal movements (Recommended) | Waving, moving a toy, or normal card interaction |
| OOO | Level 3 | Detects small movements | Finger movement, small objects moving, or slight shaking |
Level 2 is recommended for most everyday projects and activities.
How to Use

1. Switch to Movement Detection Mode
Press the Mode button to switch to Movement Detection Mode.
When the corresponding orange mode indicator LED lights up, the module is operating in Movement Detection Mode.
2. Adjust the Detection Level
Press the onboard white button to adjust the movement detection level.
The number of blue LEDs that light up indicates the selected level:
- 1 LED on: Detects large movements
- 2 LEDs on: Detects normal movements (recommended for everyday use)
- 3 LEDs on: Detects small movements
3. Detect Movement
Move the camera or an object in front of the camera.
- When movement is detected: The onboard white LED turns on, and the PH2.0 port outputs a HIGH signal.
- When no movement is detected: The white LED turns off, and the PH2.0 port outputs a LOW signal.
Detection Level Details
Level 1: Detects Large Movements
Suitable for detecting obvious, large-scale movements, such as:
- A person walking in front of the camera
- An arm moving noticeably
- A large card moving quickly
This level is less likely to be triggered by minor changes in the scene.
Level 2: Detects Normal Movements
Suitable for most everyday applications, such as:
- Waving
- Moving a toy
- Interacting with regular cards
This level is recommended for most projects and activities.
Level 3: Detects Small Movements
Suitable for detecting smaller movements, such as:
- Finger movement
- Small objects moving
- Slight shaking
This level can detect more subtle movements but may also be more easily affected by changes in the surrounding environment.
