Outdoor Cam Capture Lag

[sodcam]

Very good diagram for optimal motion detection:

Total disappointment

This is the typical detection field of a standard PIR chip through the fresnel/non fresnel options on the market. Notice the path that the Human (left lower corner ) would take and how far ( and few beams ) it registers per distance depicted to the right side. Also note that at certain distances approaching head on ( Gray focused area on graph ) you may not get a detection at all. [image]
