Unfortunately, location is causing the problem...

 

If you are unable to move it, you could make two custom modes, 1st for morning light and 2nd for afternoon.... use different sense settings in each mode ( and also run them on a schedule to automate )

We had to move the camera.  I dont know how to make a different schedule for one camera without all being affected. thank you for your feedback and advice

Scheduling is all about modes and rules.  You already are using one mode that causes problems at times so create another one exactly like the first except change the sensitivity setting for that camera.  Schedule the reduced sensitivity for the troublesome time period and the original for the rest of the time required.
