Motion detection keeps going off at night with no motion showing on the camera.

I have had my cameras for a year now and have had no issues. Recently however the camera in my backyard keeps going off at night saying it detected motion. After reviewing the clips I can not see anything moving in the camera. No flashes of light, no bugs, no cats or other random animals. It has become a nusance as the camera will off 20-30 times, often waking me up from the alerts. I have resorted now to just shutting off the camera at night to avoid this. This only happens at night, with only this one camera. I have turned down the motion sensitivity down to 50%, but that seems to not have made any difference. I am at a complete loss here as to what is the cause, I don't think its anything cool like a ghost setting it of. If that is the case, I unfortunately have yet to catch any cool footage of it desipite the 100s of video clips.

While motion can be past the camera's view before actually starting to record, I'd swap cameras around to see if it follows the camera or position. Possibly removing the camera in Settings, My Devices and resyncing it would help.

Did you ever find the issue and/or a solution?

Did you get a solution. I have 2 that does this and I have to cut them off at night. And they go offline alot at night too. The Pro does not do this. Sort of defeats the purpose. I'm wondering if its a firmware issue because I bought a Arlo Pro to go with these.

Netgear could not fix the problem with everything I was told to do . I ended up purchasing another upgraded base. That seems to have been the problem all along.

Did the upgraded base solve the problem?
