When I originally setup the camera on the default landscape mode, it worked fine. However, my front door is a long alley and the coverage is significantly improved when I turn the camera 90 degrees on the mount (portrait). Now it picks up a little of the street and activates everytime a car passes.- which is too frequent. I turned down the sensitivity to 5 and am not able to aim the camera away from the street. Help?? Thanks

In your case the only solution i can think of is to mask off the upper section of the PIR a small amount at a tinme to eleminate the section seeing the streets ( if you want to keep set up the way it is )

Black elec tape would do and is removable later

The Pro is harder to mask because the PIRs aren't out in the open. Some trial and error would beneeded. 

 

Where are you setting the sensitivity? you must set in your modes/rules, not in Settings. Use the Mode tab, select your base and edit the Armed mode or create your own custom modes, following the directions laid out in the FAQs here.

I haven't considered this option. It's worth a try. Thank you!
