Not sensitive enough - low number of recordings

AjLeo — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 09:30:47 GMT

I have set sensitivity to 100 on each of my cameras. It's school holidays so kids are at home along with our helper. However, the low number of recordings (more than an hour's gap in between) do not give me the confidence that all motion is being detected & recorded. Any recommendations?

How much area are you trying to cover? Are they indoors or out?

If you post a pic of what your shooting ( snapshot from current cam ) we can offer tips maybe.

Motion detection is going to be up to 20' from the cameras position across the field of view. It's possible that the camera may pick up motion further that, but it can be inconsistent. Reposition them or spend hours watching a live stream.
