What Is The Best Motion Detection Setting?

What is the best motion setting to turn off cars but catch people walking in the yard? How much should you zoom in on one certain item?

For the Arlo Wirefree camera, you will need to carefully consider the placement of the camera.

Motion sensitivity - I find it best to set it to 100% and then reduce it by 1-2 each time you get a motion trigger you don't want. This should allow you to work your way to an optimal sensitivity for that given position

Zoom doesn't change sensitivity or area of motion detection as motion is detected by the lower PIR sensor before the camera starts recording

As a PS,

people can be pick up to about a max of 20 ft for Arlo, 25 ft for Pro/ Pro2

aim the camera down to avoid streets and cover the area that it works best to.
