Sounds weird but the camera detects my car and a concrete goose statue as “vehicle” and “person” motion randomly and will alert me. Why is that? I keep the sensitivity high so it catches people and cars well so turning it down would seem foolish. It shouldn’t alert to those things

What happens is that whenever the camera triggers it sends the video to the Arlo Cloud, which adds those tags.  The Cloud has no idea what actually triggered the PIR sensor, so it is not actually determining that the car and goose are moving.

Also, you can donate a video so the team can use it to help fine-tune the AI behind the designations.
