Hey guys, im having some serious regrets purchasing these cameras! i put these cameras up to help secure my home and if someone was to steal something i wouldnt be able to even see what they look like!

 

My internet connection is fine, nothing downloading to make it "Lag" 

 

Also im having problems with the motion detection on my ARLO wirelessarlo.PNG, i have to be passing the camera before it detects me! pictures below.

Guess you didn't check out the suggestions for getting the best motion detection.  Because it's a passive IR detection system, you generally need to be moving ACROSS the FOV, not directly at it.  Placing the camera in one of those overhangs visible in your shots would give you better detection.
