      I have a few trackmix poe i got for Christmas. I put them up but holy cow, the false alarms on snow, rain wind and fog basically render the camera not usable. It's basically just constantly recording when it's snowing or raining, filling the 256GB card inside in hours. If email turned on, your spammed with 100's of emails/day.

      Here's an example, this was "animal detected":

      And it's barely snowing in this one. And the road and top of tree line are erased out as no detect zones. And it's day time. It's really bad at night, and if snowing, at night, it basically just records constant. Sometimes it trips with just wind.
      I've turned off "all motion" , but it's just constantly confused "vehicle detected, person detected, animal detected"
      Is there anyway to correct this?

      I have some "trail cameras" from another manufacturer and the false alarms on those are extremely minimal. I know there's a fine line between false alarms and missed alarms, but this seems heavily weighted towards false alarms. I'd never get anything in the way of security if the card is overwritten every few hours during a snowfall.

          @user_792702754615469_792702754615469 You need to disable motion detection and allow persons, vehicles and pets. Moreover there is an alarm delay which you can increase to 1 or 2 sec. And ensure you have the latest firmware installed. You can check this from Reolink download center.

            Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already done all those from reading other threads. "any motion" is disabled on record and email. . Delay is 3s. sensitivity is 1 lowest.

            Overnight I received 104 emails of "alarms" . Person, vehicle, and animal.
