1. Turn your camera sensitivity up to 100 and reduce it by 1 every time you get a false alert within 30 mins of a previous false alert. You'll find the sweet spot for recording what you need and not recording what you don't want.
2. Position your cameras so any motion moves across the field of view, not towards the camera
3. For out the front of your house, consider 2 cameras from perpendicular angles that not only record on motion but trigger the other camera to record as well. Great coverage with this method though it takes 2 cameras

Same issue here. The motion detection is inconsistent. I have it over the garage outside and it captures the last seconds of the car entering, not the drive up to the garage. I switched cameras and the second one is even worse. I may end up returning this system altogether

Positioning of the cameras is key to decent motion detection. Post screenshots.
