Can  anyone explain why neither movement, first being across the view, second being away from  (also failed on coming towards) doesnt  trigger the  motion?  Its set at 92%, and  its only  maybe 20*  shallower angle with a wider view than it was  before.  I  had  to jump infront  of it to  get it to trigger.

I would rotate the camera to the right so less wall, maybe just barely none, is showing.  That way the motion starts at the edge which seems to help.  The motion towards or away from the camera is difficult for the PIR detector to sense and likely will continue to be a problem.  If you need detection from that direction, you'll need to move the camera so that motion from either direction is across the FOV, starting at an edge or use a second camera, perhaps with nested rules (camera A detects motion and triggers camera B and vice versa).

Ill try moving it off the wall just a bit and see.

 

This is the camera being used for motion to trigger another camera btw. 

 

It seemed to work really well at night, at least in how fast it triggered the other camera to start.  This camera just hard darkness, maybe because of the glare off the wall.
