Post screenshots of what you're seeing. Is this only at night or daytime, too?

You can use the paperclip icon below the text box but be sure that the image has the proper file extension (jpeg won't work but jpg will).

 

Your description sounds like the wind blowing dust that's reflecting the IR from the night vision LEDs.

Nope, didn't work. Nothing attached.

Well darn . It’s all 4 cameras so I don’t think it’s dust . It just came a rain storm overnight and when I saw this in the camera I went outside and it wasn’t doing anything .

Rain could do the same thing. You can try reducing the motion sensitivity to eliminate false triggers caused by the rain, etc. Test to make sure you still get what you need. The sensitivity settings are in your modes and rules, not the motion test.
