Product Information
Full details
The Sonew Motion Sensor Doorbell is designed for homeowners and business owners who need a reliable, automated entry alert system. Its primary benefit is providing consistent, high-accuracy motion detection for monitoring foot traffic in day or night conditions without the need for complex wiring. While it offers versatile alert options, users should note that the device relies on battery or fixed power placement, which requires careful positioning to avoid false triggers in high-traffic areas.

Troubleshooting
Device is not chiming when someone passes by
Check the battery levels first. If power is sufficient, ensure the sensor is not blocked by physical objects and adjust the detection angle.
Frequent false alarms
The sensor is likely pointed at an area with too much ambient motion, such as a busy street. Pivot the bracket further inward to restrict the detection zone.
Sound is too quiet
Ensure the volume toggle is set to the higher of the two available settings and check that the speaker output is not muffled by the mounting position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Sound Selection: Cycle through the 16 available tones to select the one that best fits your environment.
