When the Baby 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:
-
Open the main Settings (⚙️ icon on the bottom bar)
-
Go to General → Expert
-
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 Baby Station.
