In the MODE,  go to the Mode you want to edit, hit ( on PC it's >, on ios it's pencil )  > to edit

pick camera then then edit

edit again if MOTION DETECTED and you will see a slide bar for sense level... higher is more sense

make sure you save on exit

 

Keep in mind that the cams (Arlo/Arlo Pro/Pro 2) will only detect people up to about 25 ft , tho they will detect cars at a longer distance as cars reflect IR ( which is how they detect motion )

So keep your coverage area less than the max range and eliminate roadways, then adjust your sense levels to what works for your location.
