Following dismal results with my S3 detecting animals, I'm getting an opposite result with Long Distance Mode turned on. It's now performing better than the older 5442 mounted next to it. Here's a cat it nailed 80' from the 6mm camera. The older 5442 missed it:

But what impressed me even more is how it picks up animals sneaking through the shadows. This is first a cat, then a rabbit. Fairly close to the camera, but hard to see visually and also missed by the older 5442:

I want to test more before drawing a hard conclusion, but it sure looks promising right now. Why it sucks without Long Distance Mode is a mystery to me, and I don't know if it's using the object filters in Long Distance Mode. Makes me wish Andy had a trade-up program. I've got too many older 5442s to just toss 'em.
