2nd generation essential outdoor

[Markwboyd]

Yet again it has stopped recording when it senses motion. Same as my last post.

I have moved it higher and more of an angle for it to pick up lateral movement. Short of it aiming in the neighbors window that is.

It always alerts me of motion yet never detects it as person or vehicle. And does not save a video clip.

I have done a reset.

2nd Gen cameras are rubbish and seem to be troublesome

Can you make a manual recording while livestreaming?

[Markwboyd]

Yes, I can do a manual recording. And it saves to the feed

Check your active mode (Armed Away, Armed Home, etc.). Do those modes contain rules telling the camera to record on motion?

Yes, 

Motion dectection on

Record video on

Send notification on.

I get notification it does not Record so I have no idea what the motion  notification was for

Go into Feed Settings (press the three dots at the upper right of the Feed screen), and make sure that all devices and event types are selected.  It's easy to forget that you've filtered something out.

Unfortunately all selected, I deselected and reselected just in case.

No difference when I walk by to trigger it

The fix was to make 1 activity zone. Still not perfect but now triggers 90% of the time with a recording
