During bright sunny days, I will get alerts and the saved footage begins with a flash of light that the camera apears to interpret as motion.  Other than turning down the sensitivity on a bright day, which would effectively make the security system inefectual, what can be done to stop this.  I can get 45 alerts in an hour and feel I have to check everyone.  Not a good situation.

I believe the flash is simply be camera adjusting exposure during initialization. It's an artifact of no real consequence.

Bright sunny days come with issues around IR reflections from leaves and cars. Camera positioning as well as sensitivity are key to minimize false alerts. Post screenshots for suggestions.
