The motion sensors on my Arlo cameras only seem to work at the perimeters of the image.   Aren't they supposed to work while there is movement in front of the camera?   Surely the camera should function all the time there is movement in front of the camera.   These are in use outdoors - Hardware H11 - firmware 1.2.16720 - viewed via an Android device

They can seem to work better at the edges, perhaps because there's a big change in the scene (suddenly there's motion). In any event, make sure motion is across the FOV, not directly at the camera. There is an FAQ here with complete suggestions for positioning the camera for best motion detection.

jonbritter,

 

Take a look here for positioning tips for best performance: How do I position my Arlo Wire-Free or Arlo Pro Wire-Free camera?
