I have tried the Motion Detector Test several times.</P> Thu, 14 Sep 2017 02:50:51 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1369430#M41869 Clearforked 2017-09-14T02:50:51Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1369452#M41871 <P>Have you increased the motion sensitivity for that camera in the rule for that camera in the mode that you're using?</P> Thu, 14 Sep 2017 04:48:12 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1369452#M41871 steve_t 2017-09-14T04:48:12Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370422#M41933 <P>Yes and have moved the camerato about 3.5 feet from the base. Still has short range and does not operate the night vision.</P> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:38:35 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370422#M41933 Clearforked 2017-09-15T11:38:35Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370427#M41934 <P>What is the typical maximum range for the motion detector/night vision activation? Thank you for for responding.</P> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:52:37 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370427#M41934 Clearforked 2017-09-15T11:52:37Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370441#M41937 <P>Motion detection is good for ~20 feet, night vision or not, although nighttime detection may differ from daytime due to IR signatures vs. background IR.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:19:44 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370441#M41937 jguerdat 2017-09-15T12:19:44Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370446#M41938 <P>It seems that +/- 20 is short for an outdoor camera as a Game Camera I have is +/- 100 feet. I will relocate the camera. Do I have to repeat the Sync operation when I move it? Thanks again for your help!</P> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 12:26:44 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370446#M41938 Clearforked 2017-09-15T12:26:44Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370734#M41950 <P>The difference is likely in the detection system. Arlo wireless uses PIR sensors similar to those in motion detection lighting. The detection range is about the same.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>No, you won't need to resync by moving the camera but be sure to monitor the signal level so the camera still has at least 2 bars. Less can cause various issues like pixelation and lower resolution.</P> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 17:10:30 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1370734#M41950 jguerdat 2017-09-15T17:10:30Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/My-Arlo-4N7169773598F-has-a-very-short-range-for-the-motion/m-p/1371197#M41973 <P>And when you move it to a different location, you may need to reduce the motion sensitivity depending on what's happening in the background 20-25 feet is probably for people.
