Camera is pointed at my truck which has a cover over the entire truck .
When the wind blows the cover is captured as motion.
How do I reduce the multiple videos from the cover I get about 20 videos a day from motion

You could try reducing the motion sensitivity used in the camera rule.  But you do need to be careful - if you reduce it too much, you won't get notifications you want.  There is a motion detection test you can use (I'm thinking you'd walk around the truck while using it, and find the lowest threshold that detects you.  Then make sure you don't set the threshold lower than that).

Reducing the sensitivity ok I'll try that .
I also tried adjusting the activity zone to both sides of truck were a person would walk .
This would be the shaded area in settings of activity zone keeping the cover out of the zone area but motion is still picked up by camera from cover movement. So still needs some adjustments.
