How to improve motion capture?

You’ve got the wrong camera really. The outdoor 4 is built for long battery life so it’s always asleep until something triggers the passive infrared (PIR) sensor then it wakes up.

Brand new Blink - batteries dead after two weeks

Absolutely not true about Blink saying batteries can last up to 2 years. I have new Outdoor4 and have replaced the batteries in one of them 2 times in a month. Support will say they are in a high traffic area, or in extreme weather conditions, but confirm that the settings are good.at this pace, I n
