It records constantly and drains the battery in a few days with no motion.I don’t know what to try next. I created a motion only mode but it still records sound. I read in a previous threads that there should be a sensitivity setting in “mode” somewhere but I have looked everywhere and only have a detection test option with a sensitivity setting. Anyone?
Also, the camera has the worst viewing capability. I wanted it to show the driveway but someone has to practically walk up to it to be visible.

The Q camera doesn't have a battery. I'm guessing you don't have a Q - what do you really have?
Have you read the FAQ here on setting sensitivity in your modes and rules? That's where to enable/disable audio detection as well as everything else as to how the camera detects.
There's also an FAQ on camera positioning for best detection.

You're not being clear. You mention you want motion detection only but then say that you created a custom mode for audio only. Since you have audio, you have either a Pro or Pro 2 system which will always record audio - it's whether the detection is based on motion and/or audio.
Perhaps a screenshot of your mode(s) as well as a link to a video (choose the Share icon in the library) would help.

I apologize. I must have switched the two terms. I had in set for video only because I thought the audio might be causing it to record all of the time and I had a sensitivity to motion set low. Now that my batteries are dead again, I can't open the info on the app for the device to take a screen shot of my settings. I will have to recharge the camera to do that.
