Hi

 

I attached a photo (fail when uploading video) that show camera detection trigger by a car at night.

You can also see my detection zone settings. Thanks to zone, car does not trigger at daylight but it does, probably due to light, at night.

I set sensitivity at minimum but still does trig at night.

What can I do to avoid such annoying detection?

 

Thanks

Hi,
It seems the camera detects motion because of the car's light at night, which can't be avoided, because the motion detection works as it should. You can refer to the following instructions to see how the motion detection works and the tips to reduce such detections.
How to reduce motion detections from rain, snow, or insects, etc
