For those that have exterior security cameras, do you ever get any false motion alerts or recordings? Things such as clouds going by, shadows as day turns to evening, birds, bugs etc?
Im looking at the dome type IP cameras, with motion detection and email alerts, but using an indoor-rated camera on my porch as a test, I quickly found out what that was not ideal. I woke up after a lightning storm the next morning with about 50 email alerts. One of the attached images caught the scene lit up like it was day time. I did manage to get alerts to stop on when day turns to evening, by setting the sensitivity down to about 50%. Anything higher and when late evening came around, I would get a few false alerts for no reason other than shadows that I can figure. Any sensitivity levels over 70% and bugs will set the thing off. This was with a
DSC-932L.
How the heck do you go back and review all of that? Lets say something happened that you want to see on video but you have no idea what day or night it occurred, only a rough idea of one of several days or nights. You would have to review several days worth of video?
Mine records continuous for 30 days and then watermarks at 498G.
