Aiwit
How do I set up motion alerts so I only get notified about packages?
You can draw custom motion zones in the Aiwit app by tapping the settings icon on the live view screen. Just outline the area where packages land, like your porch floor, and the app will ignore movement outside that zone. This cuts down on false alerts from passing cars or squirrels.
Can I review past footage if my camera has an SD card?
Yes, if your camera has an SD card inserted, you can scroll back through recorded clips directly in the app. This is useful for checking events you missed, like finding out what actually knocked over your trash cans last night. The clips are organized by time, so it’s easy to jump to a specific moment.
Why does the two-way talk feature sound like a walkie-talkie?
The two-way audio in Aiwit uses a push-to-talk style, which can create a slight delay and a walkie-talkie echo. This is normal and usually works fine for short commands like telling a delivery driver where to leave a package. For clearer conversation, make sure you’re in a quiet area and speak directly toward the camera.
My Aiwit app isn't sending motion alerts to my phone. How can I fix this?
First, check that motion alerts are enabled in the app's notification settings and that your phone hasn't silenced them. Also, ensure your camera's motion detection sensitivity isn't set too low, and that you've drawn active motion zones. If it still doesn't work, try rebooting both the camera and your phone.
How does Aiwit compare to Ring or other smart home cameras?
Aiwit is much simpler and less overwhelming than Ring, focusing mainly on live view and motion alerts without a ton of extra features. It's also cheaper and easier to set up, making it great for non-tech users who just want to keep an eye on their porch. However, Ring offers more advanced integrations with home security systems if you need that.
