Sensitivity zero, still sees motion

I have four Arlo cameras set up (1 Arlo Pro and 3 Arlo). One ARLO is a panoramic view of the street from the back of my house, about fifty feet or more from the street. I do not want motion sensor for this camera to pick up vehicels going by. Rather, I want the camera to act as a slave unit, only recording when triggered by another camera. The problem: with sensitivity set to zero, the slave still picks up vehicles going by. Why is that? Can I block the sensor with electrical tape? If so, where is it located on the original Arlo cam? Thanks.

The easy thing to do is to not have a rule for your modes that include this camera. Create a mode with a rule so that one camera will detect and cause the problem camera to record (this will allow you to use the camera as a slave).

 

One thing to might be the issue for setting the sensitivity to 1 and still have it trigger is that you're not setting it in the right place. It has to be in your modes and rules, not in the MOtion Detection Test.
