Example 1: One of my cameras is set to view/record the driveway from the side. So the car enters the driveway and parks. The camera gets triggered but the video is late - meaning video starts as the person is about to get out of the car. What about the 10 feet the car was moving prior to driver getting out? This is happening with all the camera's that I own.

 

Example 2: Porch camera monitors motion from as subjects enter from left, walk about 5-6 feet to the right towards the front door. Video starts BUT only when the person is already ringing the door bell. What abou the 5-6 feet of walking in clear view of the camera prior to that?

 

Upping the the sensitivity from 80% to say 90-95% doesn't really hlep. It's as if the camera picks up motion to late and getting the tail end of the action. Is this just the fact fo life with this product?

A battery operated cam takes a sec or two to come out of standby and start recording.

As has been mentioned in other threads setting a cam to detect motioin earlier and creating a rule to start recording the cam where the action is helps compensate for some.

example, cam A watches the door, cam B is earlier down the walk.

Tou create a rule that, when cam B detects motion, it starts both cam A and cam B recording.
