one of my cameras goes off every few minutes - falsely detecting motion?

both cameras are in a carport but one keeps uploading images every few minutes. At night time it will not upload data near as often. OK - in the suject line I wrote "goes off" - by that I mean activates and uploads 20 seconds of no activity.

Check the area around the camera for insects, especially spiders.  I've had spider webs blowing in the breeze set off cameras as well as the spiders themselves crawling over the camera face.  Might be worth lowering sensitivity a bit, too.
