Answer: PIR sensors work optimally when the camera is mounted around looking down somewhat and the subject of detection passes across their front. The more the subject "crosses" the front of the camera the better the detection reliability.
When placing your camera, try to avoid situations where the subject would move straight toward the camera if possible. You may need to experiment with the sensitivity settings in the app and camera placement to get the ideal setting.
Battery-powered devices, when placed in a location with too much movement, may discharge quickly. Check out Why does the battery discharge quickly? to learn more.
