My "live" view zone does not alert movement to the app

I am new to Ring (2 days) I am using the battery operated unit. When I look at the Live view I can see my steps, most of my driveway and my car in the yard. If I walk to the mailbox and walk down the driveway, there is no alert until I am on the front porch about 5 feet away from the door. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. I even put the Motion Sensitivity to Max but nothing changes. Thank you in advance for any tips.
