The options to address this are

  1. position the camera to reduce or eliminate the unwanted motion from the field of view.  Note the camera is more sensitive to side-to-side motion, and is more sensitive at the bottom of the field of view than the top.
  2. reduce the motion sensitivity
  3. reduce audio detection sensitivity if you use it (or just disable it).

Note that setting up activity zones and smart notifications won't help battery life.
