Advice on using outdoor cameras when most activity is more than 30' away
I'd like to use cameras to surveil our front and back yards, which are rather large. It seems that with the 30' limit of the motion detector, the cameras are of little value for this type of usage, unless I use a very large number of cameras. Any tips?

@xyzzy the Outdoor Camera has a 140° field of view, up to 30 feet away. Unfortunately, once subjects move more than 30 feet away, the camera may have some difficulties picking up on them.
If possible, we recommend moving the cameras to another location where they are closer to the activity.
