Help Adjusting Camera

[Trjohnson]

I have tried adjusting my driveway camera multiple times now and still can not get it right. It will only pick up about 15 ft in front of the camera where I have it placed now. (not how I want it) it is mounted on my garage. If I adjust it just a little higher it will pick up the cars going down the road about 100ft away but nothing in my driveway. I really can't figure this out. And help?

Read the FAQ here on best camera positioning. Motion should be across the FOV, not at the camera. Post a screenshot for suggestions.

You may also need to increase the sensitivity in your modes and rules. Read the FAQ here on how to do that.

As mentioned, check the FAQs as to placement and sense level.

The Pro/Pro2 cams sense people up to about 25ft with the PIR devcive.... cars at a greater distance due to reflection of IR.

Try not to cover and area greater than the camera can detect.
