Motion detection has become more sensitive

GoalSecurity — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:28:02 GMT

I've noticed my Arlo Pro is being triggered much more easily by motion. For awhile, the sensitivity seemed just right, but suddenly stuff I barely see is triggering recordings. I haven't changed the camera view or sensitivity. Hoping I can get it back to how it was before by reducing the sensitivity, but it still seems odd that the camera is acting so much differently lately than it was for the first 6 months of use. Anyone else notice a similar change, or is anyone from Arlo aware of a change to your sensitivity algorithm?

It could simply be the angle of the sun that's making the change. It may depend on what's causing the detections but leaves and cars may be reflecting the sun's IR differently than before.

I guess I should consider myself lucky, seems like some of you are having more serious issues than I am.
