Camera motion issue with constantly trigger trees/bushes/shadows

Any chance Arlo will address the issue of the cameras constantly triggering when trees, bushes or even shadows move in front of camera. My cameras go off constantly in these circumstances. Kills battery.

Have you read the FAQs here on best positioning and motion sensitivity settings? As long as PIR sensors are used this will always be an issue. Removing those items from the cameras' view as well as adjusting motion sensitivity for those times when it's an issue helps a lot. Many of us have created custom modes with appropriate sensitivity settings for different times of day when the sun's reflected IR causes issues. Use of the schedule to automate switching between modes makes this an easy fix.

Also, as mentioned above, repositioning the cameras so those branches, etc. are out of view helps a lot. There's frequently no need to have a large view - just get the area of real interest.
