Check the live signal
With eyes open, the reading should remain stable. If it jumps, improve lighting, move closer, and face the camera more directly.
Tune sensitivity
Lower sensitivity if normal blinks trigger alerts. Increase it cautiously if sustained closure does not trigger.
Confirm session state
Stop the session before testing individual sounds. Alarms should never continue after monitoring has stopped.
Check eyewear
Glare, frames, and tinted lenses can hide the eye region. Test your normal setup before a long session.
