I have a very pedestrian question. Well I have ordered two of the sensor kits, I’m having second thoughts because I’m wondering how to use them.

The sensors are designed to trigger the camera to record. What’s the difference between the sensors and what’s already built into the camera?

Please note, I have no desire to put a sensor on my dryer or the cookie jar.
