Repeated False Alarms

[user_591792059080827_591792059080827]

I've started getting constant vehicle false alarms on my E1 outdoor camera. It was working fine up until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, now I'm getting sporadic false alarms sometimes 10 or more in a row, sometimes they are hours apart. Set vehicle sensitivity down to 18 and it's still happening. Anyone know how to fix this?

False alarms in an outdoor camera can be caused by a number of factors, including moving objects, lighting changes, and even bugs or animals. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check the camera's position: Make sure that the camera is not pointed at a busy street or an area with frequent passing vehicles. If it is, consider relocating the camera to a different spot.
2. Adjust motion detection settings: You can try adjusting the motion detection sensitivity settings. If the sensitivity is set too high, even small movements, such as leaves blowing in the wind, can trigger false alarms. You can also adjust the motion detection area, so that it only covers the necessary area.
3. Update camera firmware: Check if there's a firmware update available for your camera and install it if there is. This can sometimes fix bugs and improve the camera's performance.
4. Check for environmental factors: Environmental factors, such as bright lights, reflections, and moving branches, can also trigger false alarms. Try repositioning the camera or covering windows and lights in the area to reduce reflections.
5. Clean the camera lens: Dirt, debris, and bugs can accumulate on the camera lens and cause false alarms. Clean the lens with a soft cloth and make sure it's free of any obstructions.

If none of these steps solve the issue, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer for further assistance or consider a different camera.

@user_591792059080827_591792059080827 Increase the Alarm delay by 1s for vehicle detection (restore sensitivity to 45). Have you used the object size and detection zones options?

Now I just got a person false alarm.

And now I'm getting false alarms for Persons. And it's not detecting Vehicles anymore! This is ridiculous!
