My VMC2030 is constantly giving me notifications for stationary vehicles.  This is a bit annoying, since I don't need to know when there's a parked car that hasn't moved for hours.  It picks up my husband's truck (white) in the driveway, and our neighbor across the street's car (black).

Sensitivity for this camera is already set really low at 35%.  How can I make it stop picking up parked vehicles??

Hi @buttercup560

 

By the snapshot, it appears the camera might be picking up movement from the tree right next to the camera or that shadow moving on the car. Does the issue occur if you lower the sensitivity to 0. Have you also tried using the activity zone feature?

 

Thanks

We actually cut the tree back some, and I've got the zones set to not include that section.  If I set the sensitivity to 0, will it still pick up actual movement of people & cars?

You can start at 0 for TS purposes and work your way up to see if we can get the desired results. If the branches do pass that trigger zone or the shadows, it may trigger it and detect the vehicle and send you the PN.
