How far away is the camera from the car?

 

The spec'd motion detection range is only 25 feet.  Vehicles are often detected from further away, but that can be hit or miss.  The detection is done by an passive infrared (PIR) sensor on the camera face, so detection does depend on how much IR is coming from the vehicle.

 

The speed of the vehicle also matters - do you have any estimate on how fast the car was going?

A few seconds for the notification to arrive is normal (though the recording should start as soon as the camera detects motion).  A minute is of course excessive.  There's no good way to control this, but sometimes rebooting your network and base can help.  That is, power down the base, power cycle the router/gateway, and then power up the base after the internet comes back up.
