Could someone please tell me why 2 of my cameras are being triggered with nothing showing on recording playback? Also, sometimes it catches the motion too late and just shows the bumper of a car. Sensitivity is set at 92. I have attached clip to share.

This may sound silly, but those triggers are set to record?

 

Those rules can get complicated and confusing.

 

You nay have it all set up as expected, but there is so little detail in your message that it is hard to tell.

Michael, what I'm saying is that when I look at recording history all I see and hear is the wind, nothing else and the camera's set for motion not audio. So, what triggered it to record ( no cars, people or animals)?

 

Thanks

Your cameras detect motion using passive infrared (PIR) sensors - not from the image itself.  Wind can certainly trigger the IR.

 

92 is a rather high threshold, so I'd begin by lowering it to the default 80.
