Hi

I have a d235 and its not detecting cars in the setup detection zone very well at all. it doesn't seem to be recording as soon as the car enters the zone, so I am not catching the whole event. can this be improved please. I have set the retrigger time  to 1sec, record buffer to 10sec, maxed out the wake up sensitivity.

The doorbell starts detection and recording after being woken up, the wake-up process will take some time. This article should be helpful for you, take a look. How to Install and Configure Battery-Powered Cameras for Optimal Detection Performance

 

If you require more sensitive detection performance, please switch the doorbell to hardwired power supply and enable Always‑On Mode.
