How to disable all the "Motion" videos?

We have disabled "All other motion" in the arlo settings leaving only "people", "vehicles", and "animals" enabled. Yet, after a windy night, we have over 1,000 "motion" videos!

We've tried removing and re-adding each camera to the arlo router but that didn't make any difference.

So, how do we stop these thousands (over several days) "motion" videos as the preference we set to disable motion doesn't do anything to stop motion videos from being recorded.

Thanks in advance!

The smart settings only reduce notifications - they do not reduce the recordings. You can filter the library to exclude the "all other motion" ones.

You can also try reducing the motion sensitivity or adjusting the field of view. But wind is tough - there are some times where I also get a flood of recordings. Leaves swirling around the yard, moving shadows from the trees, etc will trigger the cameras, and there really isn't much you can do about it.
