I'm having difficulty getting my camera to detect motion. It will detect motion of large objects like cars passing by, but it won't detect a person at my front door even though the person is much closer to the camera than the cars. I checked the sensitivity level and completed the motion test and still it will not detect a person unless you're withing 2 to 4 feet of the camera.

Are there any other settings to check or perhaps an update I can make to help fix the problem?

First follow the placement rules if possible;

Then remember that the sense level in the modes is adjustable , for me many of my setting are at about 90%.

Also ,the cams can pick up people to about 25 ft, so limit the caoverage to areas it will detect people and eliminate roadway traffic
