Wireless camera sensitivity extremely poor

I purchased the 4-wireless camera kit this past weekend and installed all with no problem. I'm using both the PC and the Android interfaces. Pretty happy with the user interfaces for both.

However - I'm very disappointed with the sensitivity of motion detection. I have a camera facing my driveway that I have set to a sensitivity of "1" and it has only triggered for motion twice - and both times it was only because a woodpecker photo-bombed it! (Yes - the view is of left-right traffic, not straight on).

I put another one on the kitchen table and ran the motion detector test with it set to "1", and the LED didn't flash until I was within 3 feet of the camera! (jumping, waiving my arms, and feeling like a fool!)

Yes - I did remove the clear plastic protective sheet from the front of each camera!!!

I'll be returning the kit within the next few days unless motion detection can be made reasonable.

Not sure which interface you were using, web or app, but "1" is lowest sensitivity and 9 is highest.
