Camera records fine but motion detection is slow. How can I get quicker notice?

outside camera, when I back car out of garage, I can be 1/4 mile down the road before I get motion detected, but when I view the recording, it starts as soon as the back of the car is visible, how can I get quicker notice of motion detection

You don't mention pushes or emails....

Could be SMART is effecting ( slowing down slightly )... Are you using zones ?

Are we talking 20sec or so...

In end, not much can be done if you using pushes ( they are faster as they come on the trigger event while email come at the end of the file creation )

Sure. But are they push notifications or email notifications? You can tell by checking the camera rules for the mode.

Thanks StephenB they are on push, sorry I'm very new with these cameras, seems like sometimes I get the notice quick and other times they are way slow, up to almost a minute sometimes

Understood.

If you are using smart notifications or activity zones, you could try disabling them for a little bit (as a test), and see if that makes it more consistent.
