Your security camera keeps sending false motion alerts
Lower the motion detection sensitivity in your camera app settings. Start by setting it to 50 percent instead of maximum, then lower it more if you're still getting false alerts. This stops most unnecessary notifications straight away.
Your camera is too sensitive and is catching movement it shouldn't. Lowering the sensitivity threshold means it only alerts you for real threats like people and cars, not leaves or shadows. You control this directly in your camera app settings.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning off motion detection entirely instead of lowering sensitivity — you'll miss real threats
- Setting sensitivity too low immediately and missing actual motion events — start at 50 percent
- Not checking notification videos before giving up — you can't tell why alerts happen without looking
- Not waiting long enough after changes — test for a full day cycle (day and night)
Signs you need professional help
- You've lowered sensitivity to lowest and still getting false alerts — something is wrong with the camera
- Alerts stopped working entirely after changing settings — you turned off motion detection by accident
