How can I stop so many alerts from coming in every minute? 

I have reduced the target area for motion to a minimum (almost making the cameras completely useless because I cannot see the entire area as I was hoping), but I still get alerts every minute for no apparent reason. 

Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the cameras so that it is not alerting after every speck of dust passes the lense?

Pan and zoom has no effect on motion detection since the PIR motion detector sees the whole scene.  You're just cropping the video.

Post a screenshot with pan and zoom turned off (zoomed back out completely). It may be your positioning or it could be a bad camera.  Putting the camera in a location where there is no motion (inside a room, facing a wall) would be useful to tell if the camera is flaky.

Yes, there is a sense level adjustment in the MODE, under record

Thank you, TomMac!  I didn't know about the feature.

OK, thank you. I will try this as well.
