This is the short version. To set up the Camball correctly on the motion detection mode, please follow the guide below in numerical order. Refer to the Camball quick start guide for location of the buttons:
  1. Turn the CamBall on by pressing center button 2 seconds after charging for 3 hours. It will flash 2x and the LEDs of MEM,  BAT, O/W are supposed to be Green.
  2. Adjust the P/S button to Red (Right Arrow)
  3. Adjust the  R/T button to Red (Left Arrow)
  4. Adjust the REC button to Green/Red (Top Arrow)
 That's it; just set it down and now it's in Motion Detection mode. You can make REC Red or make REC RedGreen depending if you want audio or not.

This is the long version:
Q: How can I set my Camball on Motion Detection mode? RED (Detection of Video and Audio) or GREEN (Detection of Video only)

Choose one depending upon your purpose of using Camball.

P/S LED Color VIDEO AUDIO
RED RECORDS VIDEO ONLY WHEN MOTION DETECTED RECORDS AUDIO ONLY WHILE VIDEO BEING RECORDED.
GREEN RECORDS VIDEO ONLY WHEN MOTION DETECTED CONTINUOUSLY RECORDS AUDIO WHETHER OR NOT VIDEO BEING RECORDED
OFF CONTINUOUSLY RECORDS VIDEO CONTINUOUSLY RECORDS AUDIO


2. R/T LED: GREEN (Security Recording Type)

3. REC LED: GREEN/RED (Video + Audio Recording)

Please note that when you set P/S LED GREEN, your Camball doesn’t go to sleep because it is programmed to normally(continuously) record sound (whether or not there is any noise) even though there is no motion detected. At this GREEN setting, actually you can save memory capacity, but not power.

And when you set P/S LED RED, your Camball scans for motion every two seconds and , if there is a motion detected, it records for two minutes. If there is a continious motion, your Camball doesn’t go to sleep. However when no motion is detected by scanning, your Camball is actually sleeping.

At this RED setting, you can save both memory capacity and power. Please remember, though, that you cannot record audio when no motion is detected, because your Camball goes to sleep then.

What happens if you set REC LED RED? Your Camball is set to record only video, no audio. It means that there is no difference between your setting of P/S LED at RED and at GREEN. That means your Camball may not be able to meet your needs.

What happens if you set REC LED GREEN? Actually no motion detection function. Camball works like a voice recorder. That’s why we recommend you to set REC LED RED/GREEN for motion detection recording.
