Yes, it's possible. Tho the view wouldn't be greatest at the distance.

The Arlo cams are triggered by IR or the reflection of same...cars are a big reflector ( windshields, etc ) and many times it will give triggers to record.

 

Most of the time to many false triggers are due to trying to cover an overly large area... I find the PIR device ( reads the IR ) works best on people at about a max of 20ft... If this is the problem your having , try and lower the aim of the camera to avoid the false triggers ( roadway )
