It was picking up some cars driving by. but not all. It got one this morning and then hasnt since. so I turned it down so the street is at the very top of the camera and still nothing. Including me pulling in and out of the driveway. but it will get me if I walk out the front door to the end of the side walk

Cars sometimes are good reflectors of IR ( and sometimes not )... could be the angle of sun at times.

 

Remember theat the PIR of the Pro/Pro2 is only good for people at 25ft.  As long as it picks you up, its working.

Raising the sense level would allow more pickups but at the cost of false triggers
