Camera is not picking up people walking by or down the walkway at all, only cars driving by. Sensativity at 100%.

And sorry to tell you , but it's prob not going to.

 

The PIR device for the PRO maxs out to about 25 ft for people... cars are picked up farther away due to the higher reflected IR ( which is how the PIR detects motion )

Do you think this view would be sufficient to pick people up?

The moment you get a windy weather, those Tree leaves will have a better chance of triggering motion before anything else..

I can get the limbs out of the way. But do you think it'll be close enough? That's as close as I can get. Otherwise this system just isn't what I need.

It can work if you just want to alert yourself only, but if you expect the image itself to be good. Highly unlikely..

Didn't see this image earlier.. The only image I saw was the first.. I think it'll work.. just make sure no one can vandalized or steal your camera..

For people , imo, not really...you'll  pick up traffic , but if you're worried about the cars , I would be surprised it worked enough to make you happy
