My cameras nearly pick anything up sensitivity is turned up....my fencline wasn't even picking up today when my neighbors trespassed and got on our fence line. How do I find the whole day videoed on the cloud like I pay for.

The only way to get the "whole day videoed" is with a CVR subscription which also requires the camera to be AC-powered. If you mean motion detection videos, the camera has to be able to detect the motion so a subject that moves slowly and/or directly at the camera may not get recorded. Do you have the cameras positioned so motion is within 25 feet, across the FOV and the sensitivity is suitably high in your modes and rules? Have you tested it yourself?

Sorry, but this bit baffles me:

Does it pick up "nearly everything"?

 

Or does it "not pick anything up"? Or "nearly nothing".

 

I ask because the next bit says:

If it picks up nothing, or "not anything", then I can see why you turned up the sensitivity.

 

But if it is everything, then you want to turn the sensitivity down.

 

And what is "pick up"? Not responding to any triggers and recording events?
