motion sensors not working consistently on cameras aimed thru Windows to cover front and back yards.  I have set both for the highest detection level and made sure to check option to send notifications.

The wireless cameras basically won't detect motion through windows due to the IR detection method being blocked by the glass. The Q cameras will work if positioned right next to the glass since it uses a pixel-based detection method.  If you're using wireless, you really should place the cameras outside.
