Arlo Wireless Cameras (outdoor)

[smcclarin]

I just installed my Arlo camera's on 4/9. I installed 4 cameras. Since installing them they work great. I can't complain.  I have the Arlo app and it send me notifications when motion is detected. All the cameras are set on the default 80%. The only issue I have is with the camera mounted on the side of my house. It literally catches motion every 3 minutes. I have it facing towards the street so everytime a vehicle passes by it records. I have put the motion setting on the lowest (1%) and that hasn't changed anything. I know that camera's battery will need to be changed by the end of the month. Anyone have a solution for me?

Aim it down. A common problem with excessive motion detection is too much scene in the camera's view. While it may seem like a good idea to catch the whole scene, it confounds the detection as you note. Aim the camera so the street isn't in view and so motion is captured crossing the fog. If still problematic, post a screen shot for further suggestions.
