Have set the motion sensor to zero and it still triggers when sunlight moves and when the wind russels the trees

 

I have tried to adjust the view area to be the smallest possible but still no luck.

 

Having a grid and disabling sectors on the grid would probably sort this.

 

Does the outdoor camera handle moving folidge better than a indoor camera or are they the same as far as triggering the motion sensor?

All of the wireless cameras operate much the same although the dual PIRs in the Pro cameras is an upgrade.  Right now, your best option is to reposition the camera to eliminate the detected "motion" although that can be a difficult problem depending on your home.  Don't forget that it's IR that's being detected, not visible light so reflections from the sun or direct sunlight will always be an issue since the sun is a huge generator of IR.

 

Also, all of the wireless cameras are both indoor and outdoor.  The Q cameras are indoors-only and have a different detection scheme.  Rather than using IR, they are pixel-based and have the ability to set zones for motion detection.  These may actually be the better solution to your problem.
