Camera has slow detection - shows image after vehicle

[Stormympm]

my camera is suddenly only picking up vehicles as they pass the camera, not as they are coming down the driveway. Formally the camera would trigger as soon as the vehicle was within 60 feet and then record as the vehicle was passing. Now all I get is a bumper and a cloud of dust. Which is not useful when trying to figure out who is coming and going.

SInce these cameras are designed to work on people activity, your usage is rather out of context. Yes, the cameras can detect cars, etc., at greater distances than the ~25 feet noted as maximum range but that's due to the larger IR emissions from them. In addition, if motion is AT the camera rather than ACROSS the FOV, the PIR sensors will have a harder time detecting the movement. You can try changing motion sensitivity to see if that helps but repositioning the cameras may also be needed.
