The Arlo Q FAQ page says it can detect motion up to 15 feet away. If it uses changes in the video image as the trigger then why is there such a short range limit? 15 feet seems awful short. Heck, my passive IR Arlo wire-free can often do better than that.
Has anyone gotten a better detection range in real use?

I think that's a mis-print as that's right for the Arlo but not the Q IMO. ( Netgear? )
1) I have found the ARLO camera's PIR works out to a max of 20ft+/- for people ( hi IR relectors (like cars ) at a longer distance )
2) I also use the Q camera and the pixel based detection for me works just fine out to 50 ft for a person walking across FOV ( btw, thru a window too )

Arlo Q motion detection range is good up to 50 feet. I will escalate the article referencing 15 feet and have this corrected.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention,
