Not sure if this exact question has been asked, but if so, I can't quite get  my head around it.

I have some automatic lights that seem to trigger a motion detection. It seems I can use the scheduler to disarm/arm  the few minutes either side of the lights coming on . However, if I wish also to use geofence to arm- disarm, will this work in tandem with the scheduler, or does the scheduler over ride the geofence?

Not that I find the geofence very responsive- does it work better if you select a large area?

If others have this issue with the lighting change triggering the motion sensor, is there an easier solution? I haven't played about with the motion sensitivity yet ..maybe that would be adequate?

There's not much you can do with your auto timed lights...

As the Q cam is really always recording AND uses pixel based detection, the change in the view ( lights coming on ) will trigger a record session.

 

I've seen this a few times and there's really no solution...

example; A user wanted to watch an elderly parent, but at night the parent would watch tv in the dark... you guessed it hundreds of false trigger due to the tv flashes of brightness.
