Hello

 

Is there anything in the works to make it detect motion out further than 23ft?  I purchased a set but it would not detect motion as far as I needed it to.  Also would not detect motion thru glass.  Had to return it! Planning to purchase another set once this area has been improved on. 

 

Thanks

Tony

These cameras use PIR detectors which have limited range. Also, since they use IR to detect motion they don't work through glass which blocks IR.

The indoor Q cameras have much greater range since they use changes in pixels to determine motion and also work through glass because of this.

The Arlo and Arlo PRO have a max detection to about 20 ft....

They DO NOT work thru glass.

 

Only the Q camera that has pixel detection will work thru glass
