Constant false motion alerts

JonnyJr — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 17:27:59 GMT

Anyone figure out the ‘sweet spot’ for sensitivity/activity zones, etc to stop the motion detection alerts? I’ve got a tree in the front of the house & the dumb AI apparently can’t tell the difference between a tree & a vehicle. I signed up for Arlo subscription just to get my activity zones back, I drew the box with the tree branches clearly outside, but when tracking feature is active; it zooms in on the tree which isn’t even in the zone…endlessly frustrating!

Firstly you need to stop the PIR sensor on the front of the camera from seeing the tree.
Redirect or relocate the camera so the tree is not in the camera FOV.
You can also adjust the camera’s PIR sensitivity in the rules of the selected mode. The motion test utility in the camera settings is for testing only and will not change the trigger for recordings and notifications.

I can’t comment on the smart notifications, more trouble than they are worth imho.
