Hi, I’ve just come from using a Ring device to Eufy.
Fairly happy with it so far but I’m a little concerned with its ability to detect motion.
Despite having everything set to max, it’s reluctant to trigger a motion alert.
In fact someone came to the door and it triggered when he was about two steps from the doorbell.
This leaves the whole of my front garden and driveway with my cars in what looks like a potential dead zone.
Is this normal?
The best way to get good detections for PIR devices is to place the device so that the motion crosses its path instead of approaching head-on. The cross motion ensures that the heat source is something moving rather than a stationary object.
If your placement won’t support that, you can use a motion sensor or other camera to trigger motion and recording on your doorbell.
