Doesn't record when raining?

Pro 4. I have noticed that just about every time it rains out, there are no recordings at all. I have 3 cameras and usually the one in the front of the house records something every few minutes with cars driving by or people walking by. But when it rains, there's nothing? In the backyard, we always have at least 4 or 5 recordings a night with animals but when it rains, nothing. Anyone else? Kinda weird?

You may need to adjust the motion sensitivity up some (testing is needed) in the camera rules. I suspect the rain is absorbing/blocking the IR from the subjects needed to activate the cameras.

Of course it will also cool things down, so less IR.
