Camers will not pickup cars coming into or out of drive way. The camera will pick up the people going to or from the car but not the car they take or arive in. Cars cross field of view as they come in. People follow same path.

Camera is with in 20 feet of cars and people much of the time. But are as much as 40 feet once parked. 

 

In short, cars coming and going not detected, but people are. 

 

Any help please?

 

Thank you.

Can you turn your sensitivity up? Start at 100 and work downwards til you stop getting a lot of false detections.

Otherwise, can you position the camera so the car isn't coming directly towards the camera?

Thank you for the responce. 

I put the motion detection up to 100 and still not working. 

The camera is above the cars plus the driveway goes down into the yard so headlights do not run directly at the camera. 

Also, the cars run perpendicular to the camera. . 

I have been having problems with mostion detection on another camera which will not detect motion at all. 

 

Thank you again.

Can you post a screenshot of what the camera sees?
