I know better than to try to go to Arlo's support with issues with their products. I have Arlo Pro 2, 5 cameras. Somehow, the cameras on the front lawn and back lawn gets triggered for "motion" non-stop when it is a sunny day. I'm talking about triggers every 2-3 minutes. 

 

It's insanely annoying and as far as I can tell, its not actual motion that's triggering the camera but the grass? 

 

I've already tried reducing the motion trigger and it's still the same.

 

Does anyone else have similar problems and any ideas?

It's likely the sun's IR reflecting causing this. Many of us use lower sensitivity settings during the day to help eliminate these false triggers. Just be sure you still get the recordings you need. Subscribing to Arlo Smart may be useful so you only get alerts from people, cars, etc., depending on how you set it up.
