Smart Notifications keeps detecting an animal when no animals present

I have a new Pro 3 system. I keep getting a false notification for animals.
I bought the Pro 3 because we have nuisance animals (mostly deer) that I would like to scare off with the siren and the light.

Hi @Phoney49

Have you tried rebooting the camera or removing it from Settings > My Devices > Re-Add it?

What objects are the cameras classifying as an animal?

Removed tree branch blowing into camera. Created an activity Zone to eliminate extraneous areas of motion. Working better now.
