### Screensaver

  

*   Activates after **30 seconds of inactivity** (it does not activate while you're on the Home or Live tabs)
    
*   The background color shifts every 2 hours
    
*   Notifications can be dismissed manually, or they auto-clear after 24 hours
    

### Auto-Dim

  

Auto-Dim is **on by default**. When the device is unplugged, it drops screen brightness to 20% after 30 seconds. You can toggle it in **Settings > Nanit Home Settings**.
