My camera detects car passing by my house on the street but doesn't detect my car when I pull into the driveway.  Why is that?

PIR motion detection works best when the heat signature moves across the FOV. Your car pulling in it probably heading directly towards the camera. PIRs don't work very well that way. You should reconsider the position of your camera
