Hi

My outdoor camera works perfectly at day time, however on a night time when it rains there is a bright flashing on the screen which then sets of the motion that says person detected.

Ive rebooted and reset the camera bit nothing stops this.

The bright flashing should be the rain, overexposed in infrared mode if they're too close to the camera lens. 

 

As for the false detection issue, reducing the detection sensitivity for the person detection should help. High sensitivity could cause false detection.
