Hello Crosstrek13,

The Ring Spotlight Cam Wire-free features PIR motion sensors. These sensors detect heat signatures of moving objects in the monitored areas and send a motion notification to your smartphone. This camera works great at eye-level, or slightly higher. At nine feet from the ground, the camera can cover a wide visual area, as well as capture HD video of visitors' faces.

When Spotlight Cam Wire-free is mounted too high, it often gets angled sharply downwards. This can work if you're only looking to detect motion in a very small area, but more often than not results in not detecting approaching visitors or capturing the top of heads when the motion sensors are triggered.

You can adjust the sensitivity as well as the zone of area you would like to cover. I’m not sure how close you are to the road but I believe you can filter out the traffic. Hope this helps.
