Trigger response
This camera is set up to watch a remote property and has been working great however the camera seems to have about a 2 to 3 second delay picking up fast moving people, animals and vehicles.
For people and animals the picture shows them well into the sensor before snapping a picture. For vehicles and depending on speed I get the back of a vehicle and cannot see the occupant(s).
Also getting many pictures where it appears nothing was there to cause the picture. In a couple instances a vehicle has passed fast enough not to show in the picture. I know this because today someone went by pretty fast and posted something on the building. Got an empty picture then got another with something different in the next picture, the posting.
I changed the trigger to High sensitivity. Will this help or is it just a delay between the motion sensor and camera?

The problem there is that the camera is too close to the road. The vehicle isn’t within the frame long enough to be caught. Remember that these cameras are designed to catch animals, not moving vehicles. (BTW, the guy in this truck knows all about our cameras, he messaged me before he got there to let me know he was in the area. He likes the cameras because people in the area know about them and it cuts way down on the traffic back there.)

Liz is 100% correct about needing to back that camera up from the road, it's way too close. If terrain allows it I would also suggest to lower it down some. At that height critters walking on the road will be below most of the cameras field of view but could still trigger the camera. You also need to change the batteries, P3 showing on the picture so they are getting low. Are you running the camera in burst mode or single picture?
