Have you turned off audio detection?

Also, have you tried reducing the motion sensitivity?

If this is due to motion detection, reposition the camera to eliminate the sky and street from view. There's no reason to be recording the sky for sure.

@Dmnjm - the motion detection only reaches about 25 feet, so it shouldn't trigger on an airplane.  That suggests that you have audio detection enabled.  If you do, start by turning it off.

The airplane could be reflecting the sun's IR. Eliminating unneeded view not only helps minimize these reflections but also allows the owner to position the camera to only concentrate on the actual area of interest. These cameras are not intended to be general activity devices.
