Hi. Have a tree like 20 feet away. With wind the tree moves and the camera keeps sending movement alerts. How can i fix this?

Hey Gaviriavelez,

If you're receiving a lot of false motion notifications, you might want to try re-positioning or lower the sensitivity on your motion detection to see if that helps. You can read here on how to optimize your motion detection: How do I optimize motion detection for my Arlo camera?

I had the same issue in my backyard. Play with the sensitivity and range setting (these are two different settings) but most importantly, use activity zones. If you don’t want to subscribe to the monthly plan to get the zones, get a Arlo outdoor adapter and plug into a/c power. The performance is night and day now for me. The trees have never set off detection since I plugged in.
