Barkio: Dog Monitor - Motion isn't detected when device is lying flat

Motion isn't detected when device is lying flat

When the Dog Station (iOS or Android device) is lying flat—for example, horizontally on a table or bed—motion detection and photo/video events are disabled by default. This is to save battery and avoid recording useless events when the camera faces a surface.

 

Can I change this?

Yes. To enable motion detection even when the device is lying flat:

  1. Open the main Settings (⚙️ icon on the bottom bar)

  2. Go to GeneralExpert

  3. Enable Detect motion when lying flat

 

⚠️ Note:

This setting only affects the specific device where you change it. Enable it directly on the device you use as Dog Station.
