Sensitivity set at 90%. Will not catch my wife's Tahoe pulling in or out of the driveway. But will false six or eight times a day with no movement

Can you post a pic/snapshot of the camera view for suggestions?

Did you get a 2 camera kit? If so, can you swap the cameras around and see if the other acts the same way in this position?

I have 4 camera. I can swap them. Just wondered if 25' was too far to pick up

25' is on the outer limit for detection especially when it's not something moving side-to-side in the field of view, but the truck should have a massive IR signature. Swap the cameras and see how it goes. If that doesn't work, look at a different position for the camera

It might also be better to mount a camera on that corner next to the truck so motion is much more side to side.
