Not really. All my cameras detect around 25-30 feet away for people and further for large IR signatures like vehicles. Newer ones have a wider detection range though to coincide with their wider FOV.

I thought you bought new ones recently? Should be pretty good distance. What are you trying to see?

if you need something you could add an Arlo security light. When it senses movement on one side of the yard it will activate whatever cameras you designate. Plus the add flood light is a bonus!

got the security lights up today and set the mode so every time the light senses motion it would trigger the camera it was near. when I do this. the doesn’t actually come on. it just records on the camera

So are these things either a motion sensor OR a light? Not both?

They are day sensing. When it turns into night the light will turn on.

Turn your cameras on to detect sound and record. Mine get over 1000+ videos a day of cars going by

Hello, Arlo 2 newbie. We just installed 2 cameras and the one on the garage at the back of the house is detecting motion but the one at the front of the house is not.
