How to avoid motion triggered by car lights?

I frequently get recordings like this at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xta1f5q95Fs

Disabling the zones around the street didn't help.

I know this is a few years old, but did you find a resolution? This is happening to us and it's exhausting. I'm being woken up to motion notifications and it's jarring, but then I check what it is an it's brake lights at a stop sign, when we have motion disabled in that zone and it's not been a problem for three years until about two weeks ago.

the only solution I've found is to have a light near the camera. This is a problem with our doorbell camera (one of many) and turning on the porch light is about the only fix, and it isn't 100%

@wittelj​ Aside from Activity Zones, what other motion settings do you have turned on? It may help to turn on People Only if it isn't already. However, your camera shouldn't record any motion within your Activity Zones. Does it pick up anything else, or just break light? I would also recommend removing those Activity Zones and set them back up again.
