When we first got this camera, 3 weeks ago, it recorded at night.  Now, it only records once or twice at night, if at all.  I get tons of notifications, but nothing recorded.  It records fine during the day - every time a bird flies to the feeder or a squirrel goes up the tree across from the camera.  But nothing at night, or only once or twice.  Example:  Nothing for June 26-29, then 2 recordings for June 30, and 2 recording early this morning (then 20-25 recordings from about 8 a.m. until noon).  However, notifications indicate "motion" frequently throughout the night, just no recordings.  I've reset the unit, re-paired it, cleared all recordings and notifications, made sure everything is checked for events, color is on for night -- what am I missing?  Thanks in advance

By any chance do you have activity zones set? You might want to try deleting those for testing.
