Doorbell sending alerts for every car that goes by and outdoor camera battery down to 50% in a week

I installed the video doorbell - it constantly sends me notices for every car that goes by.  If I block out the street there isn't much else left for it to see.  I have tried turning motion off, waiting, turning it back on - everything that is stated here, but it keeps alerting me to cars and is driving me nuts.  If I turn off alerts for doorbell cam can I still use video doorbell?  I also have an outdoor camera there - which is another issue, as the battery is down 50% in a week, but it doesn't have very many alerts or videos.
