My camera records erratically. Sometimes there's nothing on the recorded videos. Rarely records at night. Night vision is poor. How can I get my cameras to record properly?

If motion is detected poorly or the motion is fast enough, you may not capture the action.  Trial and error on positioning the camera so motion is across the FOV and, preferably, near the edges will help but it's something you have to take the time to determine. 

 

Night vision is limited and is spelled out in the specs.  You can count on maybe 20 feet with the center being most illuminated.
