Outdoor camera and animals

Since the last update to our system, the outdoor camera is picking up and notifying us of everything that moves. Snow, cats, leaves, etc. I have reset the camera (using the button on the back); have reset my settings on the app to have low sensitivity, and it continues. Is there anything else I can try?

Hi @barbaracurren, 

I know you've changed the Outdoor Camera's sensitivity to Low, but it can also help to change the motion type to People Only and set up Activity Zones to block unnecessary areas of motion in the camera's view - like if there's a tree branch that often moves in the wind. If you enable those two settings, does your camera still pick up on excess motion?
