Troubleshooting

Too many motion events: reduce irrelevant triggers

The short answer

Review the triggering scene before lowering sensitivity globally. Reflections, trees and lighting changes may be better addressed by a narrower region and representative retesting.

Work through the checks

  1. Match an event entry to the camera, timestamp and any linked local media. An event is metadata; its presence does not guarantee that a complete video clip was saved.

  2. If detection regions are available, exclude irrelevant motion such as a road, tree or reflection. Test both activity inside the region and movement just outside its boundary.

  3. Use representative day and night scenes, including empty scenes. Compare missed events and unwanted triggers before changing sensitivity; one successful alert is not a reliability measurement.

  4. Lower one camera parameter at a time: frame rate, resolution or bitrate. Re-test motion and readable detail; a lower idle bitrate alone does not prove a usable moving image.

What to verify

Check who can see the live view, the field of view and the local files. Limit unnecessary capture and access; local storage does not by itself protect footage from other computer users.
