Rule firing on all motion

[Mikey321]

I have 3 Arlo cameras setup, 2 1st gen essentials, and 1 2nd gen.

I want to setup a rule, so that if a person is seen in any of them around 1am to 5am the sirens go off.

I have setup the rule, and selected "Motion Detected - People" I have ticked off all other motion.

But the rules keep firing on all motion, wind pushing the door sets it off. How can I stop this?

As noted in the settings inside the rule for selecting People, you're only setting the Smart Notifications - "By default, we will send you only selected video object detections". That simply changes what videos you get notifications for, not what actually gets detected. That's because the determination is made by the servers after the recording is uploaded. Thus, the siren will go off at every detection, not just for people.

I tried this myself a while ago after a car break-in and had the same results. I had to disable the siren since animals, etc. were setting the siren off in the middle of the night.

well that's a major bummer. Even if it took 15 seconds to fire the siren it would be useful.
