Motion Detection Range

RSha — Sun, 20 May 2018 06:16:02 GMT

Hello Arlo Community,

I recently purchased ARLO Pro camera and have noticed that after 'Firmware' update, the cameras are sending alerts only when motion is within 5 to 7 feet range. I understand that motion upto 30 feet should trigger an alert and send out notification.

Does anyone has recommendation to fix this issue?

Arlo Pro for people maxs out at about 25 ft out...

Have you attempted to re-adjust the sense levels in your mode ??? ( mode/edit ) Higher is more sense.

Yes, Motion sensitivity is set at 100 %.
Additionally, infrared light is not detecting any motion.

Infrared light does not detect motion, it simply helps the cameras see in the dark.

I have my cameras at either 95% or 100% sensitivity. People get picked up 20-25 feet no problem, I've also picked up cars from my garage camera at 50-60 feet. My cats, since they are smaller get picked up at about 15 feet.

Check this article out for cameras positioning.
