Arlo Pro 2 Camera not picking up cars

[davidj77]

Hello,

Just got the system the other day so i'm still tweaking the settings. I noticed though for my outside camera that watches my front door and driveway that it really does not pick up cars too well. For example the picture below, I walked around the house, got in my truck and drove away and it never recorded a thing. Also when I got home same thing. However it picked up the mail man. I started with sensitvity at 80 I'm now up to 95 to see what that will do. Anyone else having this issue. is it because my camera is too far away.

We can't see your photo yet, not until a moderator authorizes it.
The detection range is about 25 feet max.

Start with the motion sensitivity at 100 and turn it down as you get false triggers

PIR motion detection works well when the IR subject moves across the FOV but poorly as the subject moves towards or away from the camera

Hope that's helpful
