Sunlight triggers camera

[Hokulele]

My Arlo Pro 4 camera sent me 121 notifications of motion when in direct sunlight. Is there another solution other than relocation?

Not sure if this is 

1. sunlight on the PIR sensor
2. shadows in the field of view
3. Infrared thermals on the field of view

FWIW, with some of my own cameras I have an issue with (2) during some seasons.

If you are thinking it is (1), you can purchase 3rd party camera shades.

Also, note that as the sun moves so do the symptoms. Many of us have used different motion sensitivity settings in modes and rules to help eliminate false triggers. Rotating the camera to eliminate extraneous view should also help.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Gives me some things to try before relocating to a less desirable location.
