VL53L5CX outdoor performance (or a suggested alternative)

I'm currently trying to use the VL53L5CX to detect motion in the range of about 1m in front of the sensor.

This seems to work fine indoors - but outdoors - I don't seem to be able to get anything more than around 30cm, even with xtalk calibration, and a shroud.

I don't actually need 8x8 or even 4x4 - i basically just need to see if there is something passing in front of the sensor (think beam breaking - but with just one device)

Am I missing something ?
Is there some config to increase outdoor performance ? 
Should I use a different sensor ? 

Any thoughts gratefully received.
