I installed Arlo Pro 2 camera a few days ago and am trying to set motion detection to avoid cats. I currently have two cams at 70% and the third at 50% and they are all still triggering when a cat walks into the field of view. Is there a recommended setting to avoid cats but still have good detection for humans?

Changing the camera view and/or reducing sensitivity are the only methods for this. It's a trial and error approach to fix this.

Setting up Activity Zones might also help.  If you subscribe to smart you can turn off notifications for animals (though recordings would still be stored).
