The Philips Wireless Doorbell and Wireless Spotlight Camera work with motion detection: when movement is detected, they record this as an event, and a notification can be sent. Find out more about the Movement and AI Detection in our article below.

Types of Movement Detection
There are two types of Movement detection:
The Wireless Spotlight Camera can also be used for continuous recording. With this feature, the Wireless Outdoor Camera will record for as long as the Mode, for which continuous recording is enabled, is active. Movement detection can be enabled during continuous recording to receive notifications of any activity.
- All Movement: Any form of movement detected by the camera is recorded as an event and labelled the same, no matter the nature of this movement.
- AI Detection: the built-in AI determines the type of motion detected and only records an event for the specific detection types that you have selected. (For example, with AI person detection, it will only record an event if the AI has labelled the movement as a person).
