Too many recordings

[ScottyK]

Maybe this is normal/expected behavior, but I wanted to ask. I have activity zones configured that don't include the street. And I have "vehicles" deselected for Motion Alerts. But we're getting video recordings of every car that drives past the house. My wife is also getting alerts on her phone for those, but I'm not getting notifications on my phone for drive-bys (which is what we prefer).
Is it normal for the doorbell to capture those recordings, even if the motion is outside the activity zones and vehicles are deselected?

Does it still do this if you remove zone 3?

I'll give that a try, Stephen B.  That zone doesn't extend out into the road, but I'll try it.

It looks fairly close in the screenshot, so I thought it worth a try.

I will get out-of-zone vehicle recordings at night on my cameras sometimes.  That is linked to headlight (or emergency lighting) glare - which can trigger the camera if it reaches the PIR sensor.  I've also sometimes had recordings triggered from window reflections - though I don't see how that could happen with your field of view.

Still getting recordings of drive-bys with that zone deleted. I also decreased the sensitivity down to 64%. I may decrease it a bit more to test.
