Got a pack of 5 camera kit with base station from Frys approximately 2 weeks ago set it up motion at 95 for all cameras recording 60 seconds, sometimes it trips over a fly and sometimes I can jump in front of it and it won’t trigger motion or record, updated firmware on all device, remove and resync to base station pulled battery for 5 minutes and inserted, all device connection is 2-3 bars, batteries are all above 80%; does anyone have any ideas of suggestions?

Since the bottom part is cropped off, it's hard to tell where you would expect her to show up (can't see the sidewalk). My guess is that it just goes around the corner of the building that's visible and would head to the driver's side door. That puts the motion pretty much directly at/away from the camera which is the worst scenario for a PIR motion detector.
