Your viewing to wide an area with the cameras and need to exclude
areas where it is not required to be reviewed.


I agree with Nick, but you are still going to have similar issues when you
are trying to use motion detection in a outside environment.  There are just
too many variables that will cause a trip on video motion.  If you search
Google for "RedWall Motion Detectors"

They are not cheap but they will work.  That is if placement is possible and
the range is what you need.

Good Luck,
