  • 2 of my 3 cameras are registering false recordings. For instance: 46 hits on a camera that might get 2 in 24 hours. The camera is in an area free from birds

A screenshot of the camera's view may be useful. A typical issue for that many false recordings is reflection of the sun's IR from cars, trees, bushes, etc. You may want to reposition the camera to minimize the view and/or reduce motion sensitivity in your modes and rules. If it is the sun's IR causing the problem, note that the sun's position changes over time, causing different amounts of those reflections.
