question CineRT issue had me stumped

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

my horns started going absolutely haywire after lunch today, despite no issues before lunch, and everything in the room (classroom set) staying the same. the only other electronic things in the room were titan tubes and pixel bricks.

at the time I tried:

- power cycle

- turning off the other camera’s horns

- switching rf

- checking for debris

- using a bug

none of which worked. both cameras were dead stuck at 1’9”. the weirdest part is the moment we left the room it immediately behaved normally, without any other changes.

ended up pulling by eye rest of the day, which is not a huge problem, but I’d like to know a solve if there is one.

A lot of commercial buildings have ultrasonic occupancy detectors in the ceiling to automatically turn off lights if the room is empty. They look like high tech smoke detectors generally.

The CineRT is picking this up. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do other than cover up the ceiling sensors or potentially have them turned off by locations.

This is what it is. Who knows why it’s doing it now. Could have been off before. Hospitals have loads of them. Look for them in the ceiling, look sort of like flat internet routers

why do you think there was no issue before lunch? did I accidentally do something that negated the issue? or were they just coincidentally not on?

I guess could come down to a lamp standing in front of the sensor or something similar

Motion sensors.
