Just got the pro 2 a few days ago. Do we have it angled wrong? It doesn’t detect anything coming in driveway such as a car and doesn’t detect cars on road. It doesn’t record down middle of trucks until a person reaches the back tires. It also doesn’t detect someone waking up either side at all unless they walk behind the trucks . Getting frustrated . Thanks

Motion works best going across the field of vision, not into and out of the field.

I may suggest you aim that camera just a bit higher. I had the same issue but I wasn’t getting much luck with it. I pointed it up a bit more and now it gets squirrels, cars, dogs, cars, trucks. anything will set it off now!

Change your sensitivity to 100 and see if works.
