Often this is due to camera positioning.

The range of the PIR sensors used for motion detection is about 20-25 feet. The cameras are most sensitive to motion across the field of view, and more sensitive at the bottom of the field of view.

The other thing that can be adjusted is the motion sensitivity. https://kb.arlo.com/41/How-do-I-change-the-motion-sensitivity-on-my-Arlo-camera
