Outdoor camera issues
Hello, i recently got a simplisafe canera system for my home, and 1 of my outdoor cameras keep triggering its motion detection at night until the battery runs out. The camera is on 1.20.32.7392 update.
I have already tried turning the motion sesitivity down to low and there are no trees or bushes that coukd move in the wind. I think it might just be picking up shadows but im not sure.
Any suggestions?

@TheDudeWill You can try redirecting the angle of the camera a bit to avoid directly facing a streetlight or heavy tree limbs, if possible. Also, try elminating certain zones in its view that would have these items. No matter what you do, if it sleets or snows, the cameras do have a tendency to keep recording events in those conditions. My two are outdoor cams are on AC, so power is not an issue but notices are. I do have a former coworker/friend that has a camera facing his backyard and the battery has been lasting greater than 1 1/2 months on one charge so it is possible.
