The camera goes off several times from around 1pm - 4pm due to the temperature changes and the sun position I assume. I have motion sensitivity set to only 60% (any lower and I don't catch images of those coming to my front door) and I have the camera facing as far down as possible (any lower and I will be looking at people's feet as opposed to thier face).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is there anything else I should be doing to maximize my battery life and/or minimize the motion detection of the sun?</P> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 22:55:01 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Battery-life-motion-detection/m-p/4996#M13479 adammolinaro 2016-09-26T22:55:01Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Battery-life-motion-detection/m-p/5047#M13480 <P>It sounds like the sun moving across the sky at that time of day is causing a large amount of IR that is giving false triggers.</P><P>If changing the sensitivity lower doesn't work, you may have to chnge the location of the camera so light ( or reflection of same ) doesn't hit the camera during that time.</P> Thu, 14 May 2015 01:15:39 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Battery-life-motion-detection/m-p/5047#M13480 TomMac 2015-05-14T01:15:39Z
