Motion icon is always orange

[lgbalfa]

From what I am reading, this icon detects motion.

My question is, why is it always on?

I have a total of three camera's hooked up and the other two do does not show this being on.

Thanks

Try swapping it with one of the other cameras, and see if the problem moves with the camera (or not).

That shouldn't make a difference should it?

The one with that icon on is being used with a solar panel.  

Would that make a difference?

Now this is weird.

I put in a 100% fully charged battery 3 hours ago and now it is at 68%.

Well, that is consistent with constant motion detection.

Swapping the camera let you know for certain whether the camera is the problem.  If it is, then a hardware reset would be the next step.

I reset the camera and put a fully charged battery and all seems OK now.

The motion icon is not constantly on.
