As always, modifying the setup can fix all this. Reposition the camera to remove areas of unneeded monitoring (trees, bushes, etc.) as well as changing the motion sensitivity in your modes and rules. Improper setup doesn't mean there's an issue with the cameras.

@AlejandroMancil : Try turning off "all other motion" in the smart notifications to reduce the flood of notifications.  You will still get the recordings, but you can filter out "all other motion" when you view them if you want.

Often true, but not always.

I have one spot where the camera triggers on moving shadows of tree branches on the pavement in the late spring/summer.   That area is squarely in the field of view, and shifts during the day as the sun moves.  Reducing the motion sensitivity would of course help some, but it's tricky to find a setting that rejects the moving shadows but still detects people reliably.

Turning off "all other motion" in the smart notifications is the only good option I've found for that location.

@AlejandroMancil - though your camera might have a similar problem to mine, you should still consider @jguerdat's suggestions on camera placement and sensitivity.  If you can use them, they will give you better battery life.
