My video doorbell will record every car that passes my house ... but does not record people ringing my doorbell!!! I have tried playing with modes, activity zones, motion sensitivity etc ... nothing has worked ... frankly this makes the device useless!

First, to eliminate the cars, use a zone that excludes the street. Then lower the motion sensitivity to ~30 and adjust as needed to get what you want. I use a setting of 25 with my zone and get very few false triggers while still getting folks walking up to the porch 20-25 feet away.

 

As for recordings, are you talking about those from people approaching the doorbell or the actual doorbell press itself? If the latter, are you missing videos in the library or video when answering the call on your phone?
