Wind causing too much recording in my garden

[FarmY3]

Hi, I have animals getting into my garden, and I set up cameras to observe how they're getting in.  Whenever it's windy, the plants move a lot and my camera records non-stop for hours until the battery is dead.

It's not the cameras fault, bc there is correctly a significant amount of motion happening when the wind blows.  But I'd like it to behave this way:
If people or animals are detected, then record video as it normally would.  But if it is only motion that is detected, then don't record (or perhaps, take a series of 5 pictures instead).

Is there a way to do this?  And if not, can this be submitted as a feature request?

Unfortunately there is no way to do that.

The detection is done in the Arlo Cloud (which is analyzing the video being streamed from the camera).  So If Arlo did implement this idea, it wouldn't help the battery life of the camera.  Activity zones don't have any effect on battery life for the same reason.
