Motion detection sensitivity

philTN — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 14:06:11 GMT

Good morning,

I recently purchased the Arlo Pro 3 cameras and Hub but had some issues with the motion detection on all the cameras. Even with the motion detection at it's highest sensitivity, I had to be less than 10 feet away from the camera to be detected. This is not what I was expecting.

Anybody had the same issue? Is it because I was using the camera on battery?

If the cameras are connected to a power source (solar panel), does that work better?

Ultimately, I want to be able to record from about 60-70 feet away from the cameras. Can this be achieved with the Arlo 3 cameras?

Are the Arlo 2 cameras working better with motion detection?

Thanks for your help.

philTN,

60-70 feet is far beyond the capability of the cameras. I encourage you to take a look at the following article for tips on positioning your camera for best performance: How do I position my Arlo wire-free camera?
