Motion detection help

How do I pickup motion in my yard and driveway all the way to the street?  I only get notified if someone approaches my porch?

The spec for motion detection is 7.5m (25 feet)

They will sometimes trigger on motion that is further away (particularly vehicles), but not reliably.

When on battery power, the camera uses a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect motion - it is not looking at the pixels in the video.  If practical, you could try powering the camera (from an AC charger, not solar).  That might increase the range.
