I have had these cameras for three months and all of a sudden I have gotten a crazy amount of activity. Like 2 a min and it's in a dark quiet area. Just wondering what went wrong I lowered the sensitivity to 1% and it's still going crazy

I had a camera do many recording over a short time and it was a spider walking all over the camera... so it may be a simple answer.

 

First take the camera down and open/close the battery door to reset the camera.

 

If the problem continues AND you have another camera, swap the two to see if the problem follows the camera.

 

If the problem occurs in the new location, I'd contact Netgear with a trouble ticket... warranty is 1 yr BTW.
