“If I Mount this at the top of my house which maybe 40 ft or higher from the ground, would the motion detector still be tripped when someone comes in view of it? Or do I need to mount it lower to the ground?”

yes 40ft is within it's capability. however you will need to buy a subscription plan in order to enable any motion/video recording otw you will get a motion notification but no associated video after the free 30 day subscription ends. buyer beware of this little mentioned fact.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Blink cameras have a field of view of 110 degrees - in the daytime, they provide enough visibility to identify an individual’s facial features that is 20ft away, recognize a person that is 32ft away, and beyond that depends on exact lighting conditions. At night, they provide visibility up to 20ft away depending on exact conditions. The range of the motion sensor is up to 15-20ft depending on exact conditions. The best motion detection occurs when a subject walks across the field of view from one side to another rather than directly toward or away from the camera. Please keep this in mind for optimal motion detection before mounting your camera.
