I’m not home right now but I can’t even see in my Arlo app what exact model I have, so I can’t even answer that question! I think it’s Arlo Pro 2 though...

My issue is our camera looking down our driveway. It’s set at 80% sensitivity but most of the time, a car will have approached and passed the camera — certainly not at high speed — and by the time the camera records anything, the car has already passed and you can’t even see it — you can only hear it on the gravel, already having gone past. Is 80% not a high enough setting to detect a CAR coming toward the camera??? I of course want to optimize the battery usage but I’d think a car is pretty darned easy to detect, coming almost straight at the camera... Thanks in advance....

That might be the problem.  The camera's PIR sensors are set up to be most sensitive to side-to-side motion.

Thank you — we did have it working satisfactorily before so I’ll recheck the angle. Hopefully that will take care if it. Thanks again!
