Camera doesn't see garage door open

Using an Arlo pro and it's placed inside the garage about 15ft from the door and 7ft off the ground. I have placed reflective tape on the door and the sensitivity is at 100%. Attached is a picture from the camera

Arlo uses PIR sensors to detect motion. Reflective tape would only help if there was an IR source to reflect back to the camera.

I use an external light source of 40 w bulb in garage and it picks up the door opening all the time....

You could easily test this.

Okay, I’ll give that a try and report back.
