I have a camera focused on my driveway that doesn't record when I drive up my driveway or walk in front of it, but it records every little bit of movement when i am not there.  I get tons of notifications throughout the day, and when I check it there is nothing in view, maybe some wind. The street is barely in view in the upper corner and sometimes ill see cars passing by on the street. BUT when I purposely drive or walk in front of it, it doesn't record.  Any ideas?

PIR sensors don't work well when the IR signature moves towards the camera. Instead, consider moving the camera so the IR signature moves across the field of view. Arlo HD cameras are especially bad for this and have a reasonable lag between motion and recording. The Arlo Pro camera is significantly better for detection and also starting recording sooner. Not sure if the Arlo Pro 2, released today, might be even better
