I went for a bike ride and the camera in my garage recorded me leaving the garage.  When I ride I use a high-intensity "blinky" light on the front of my bike.  When I returned home from my ride, I wheeled my bike into the garage with the light still on.  The camera did not record my walk through the garage.  Every other pass has been recorded but this one wasn't.  Could the "blinky" light have caused some issue with the camera?  I wasn't pointed directly at the camera but the camera would have "seen" the light passing.  It's a small but bright, LED handlebar light - white in color.  Thanks in advance.

I don't think the LED would cause an issue since they are a fairly pure light source so wouldn't trip an IR detector. I wonder if you entered the scene more in the middle of the camera view - the sensors seem to work better when detecting movement closer to the edges ov view.

The only time the camera didn't record movement on the same "path" was when I had my bike with the blinking LED's.
