Smart Camera "False" Motion Alerts (Wind/Trees)

4.5

You get dozens of notifications for "motion" that is just trees blowing in the wind.

Symptoms
  • Constant alerts
  • Empty videos
  • Battery drain
Possible Causes
  • Sensitivity too high
  • No activity zones
  • PIR sensor picking up heat

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Set Activity Zones

Draw boxes in the app to only monitor the driveway or porch, ignoring the trees.

2

Enable "Person Detection"

Use AI filtering to only alert you if a human is detected.

3

Lower Sensitivity

Reduce the motion threshold so small movements are ignored.

When to See a Technician

Spiders building webs in front of the lens are a common cause of night-time false alerts.
