Hey arlouser081219,

 

Could you clarify on what problems you're having when your camera is constantly going off without motion? Are you saying that your camera is not detecting motion properly?

The record 3-5 times a minute, NO MOTION! turn off the problem camera and the problem moves to another camera. Moved the cameras set them to 1% for motion sensitivity moved the camera indoors facing a wall. Still happens there is no point in having a system that does not serve its intended purpose.

What cameras and base station?

 

Are the recordings tagged as "motion" or are they tagged as "audio"?

Same thing with my cameras. I’ve only had them maybe 6 months. Camera goes off every few minutes for absolutely nothing. I loved this product and talked it up to everyone I know. I’m thinking there is no fix for this and I’ll have to switch brands. Money down the drain. I even turned sensitivity down to 1.

Yeah you will have to switch, customer service is terrible. I tell everyone to stay far away from them now with the experiences I’ve had.
