Video Doorbell Pro Motion Detection
Does anyone else have an issue with your video doorbell pro not picking up motion within the motion field? I have everything set on the highest level. I have the entire field highlighted to detect motion. Yet it's not picking up all motion. This is my 2nd doorbell camera because the first one also had issues with the motion detection. I love the doorbell's camera quality & picture, I just need it to work! I do not want to switch back to Ring but I may have to.

Hi @Elle ,
Sorry to hear you've been having trouble. As I understand it, you're no getting _any_ motion notifications at all from your Video Doorbell Pro, no matter how close you (or a subject) get to the unit, and no events from the doorbell appear on your timeline?
What happens when you press the doorbell button? (i.e. you should get the notification, and the entry in your Timeline)
Are you able to livestream?
And finally, what objects or walls are within view of the Video Doorbell? The unit uses infrared to detect motion (it's looking for heat signatures), and sometimes it can get confused by certain objects nearby.
My first thought was to try a reset, just in cause there's a problem with how the Video Doorbell is linking with the app. But you already mention getting a replacement, which is kind of the same thing already!
