My cameras on the east and west go crazy around the same time of day from the sunlight. The cameras are not pointed at the sun but something still triggers them. Anyway to fix or any updates in the works to fix?

A common solution is to set up a new mode with reduced sensitivity for this time and schedule it as well as your normal mode(s) to automate the switching.

 

Has it always done this or is this new behavior? Don't forget that the sun's angle changes over time so reflections and/or waving branches/leaves may change the necessary camera angle or sensitivity.

Changed sensitivity in your modes and saved? How about the other questions?
