I've tried everything but my cameras are constantly recording when there is no motion or sound. I must get a hundred recordings a day. It is really annoying because I'm having to recharge the batteries almost weekly. I have tried repositioning the cameras and turning the audio off. I've disconnected the cameras, reset the base station, turned everything off and back on but nothing works. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the cameras to only record when there is actual motion?

Not to be funny, but you do know there is an adjustment for the sense level??

 

It's in the Mode your arming with; MODE/edit(>)/pick cam, Edit/under if motion is detected, edit...save

Thanks Guru. I had them set at 80% and moved them down to 60%. We'll see what happens.

Hey @Auntie,

 

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps where Cornfield mentioned: "I have tried repositioning the cameras and turning the audio off. I've disconnected the cameras, reset the base station, turned everything off and back on but nothing works."?

Guru..... I haven't logged in here for some time but I did want to say thanks. The settings you suggested worked just fine and as a result I don't have to charge the batteries near as often. Thanks again!

I have the same issue, turning sensitivity right down doesn’t help.

You're turning the sensitivity down in your modes and rules and saving, right?

Then it's likely camera positioning that's the issue. Read the FAQs here on best camera positioning. Post screenshots of the camera(s) view.
