It's all about position and angle, trial and error. Motion is best detected ACROSS the FOV, not directly to/from it. Also, the edges of the FOV seem to work best.

It's a battery operated system that needs to preserve batteries. The rest is trial and error to find the right location and angle to get motion ACROSS the FOV, not directly at the camera.

You're making it more difficult than it needs to be. Yes, the camera isn't pointed directly at the scene but in a way that allows motion detection to work most effectively as the subject enters the scene rather than aiming directly at it. It's a mindset, to be sure, but it works well if you don't try to defeat how it works best.

I had Vuezone cameras, and moved many of my mounts...
The Arlo cam is less responsive to movement directly INTO the camera detector and more sensitive to motion accross the detector...esp more at the edges of the FOV of camera lens.
So what he means is to attemp to have the traffic flow accross what the camera sees for a better response.

I am not sure if Arlo support looks at these posts. I do not have support number. I am also returning my system. Bad customer support system. Looks like a generic problem but no solution from Arlo team.

smankala,
As jguerdat suggested, there are many variables in each users environment that will sometimes require some trial and error to find the right conditions and best performance for your Arlo setup. In your case it sounds like there could be interference or a WiFi signal issue that is causing the issues you describe.
This article provides great tips for making sure you get the best performance out of your Arlo system, take a look: Optimizing motion detection performance on Arlo Wire-Free cameras
If you would still like to contact the support team for further investigation of the issue, you will find options to do so here: Arlo Support Center
