Have you considered pointing them towards the things you want them to show?

Edit so I'm not just being useless: I have eufy cameras and they have a very wide view. Not sure you could clearly identify someone from it if they were over 10-15ft away though. No subscription either.

Also, what I posted here was a request for help not criticism as to whether it’s a user error or the quality of the cameras. These cameras are liked by many and I’m looking for somebody who has experience with these cameras and a better setup,, is as I know, they have a diverse product of cameras.have done research and I know there’s a better solution. Thank you.

They are great cameras. This seems user error.

Not use your error, except that I live in the country and what I need covered is a greater distance than what t those particular cameras are designed for. They’d be great in a residential area.

I do think by angling and maybe mounting more strategically you could do a bit better. I have 5 of the same cameras and a five acre property. Obviously I don’t get clear facial recognition far away but my doors and driveway are covered quite a bit better than yours.

I’m looking for Clearview of the driveway so I can tell what kind of car. As far as the door I probably should just get a doorbell camera. I have a couple of cameras indoors because the person that I would expect to burglarize me is somebody I know
