Security camera sending constant false motion alerts — New York, New York
When your security camera floods your phone with motion alerts triggered by tree branches, passing headlights, or shifting shadows, you start ignoring notifications — defeating the purpose of the system. The issue usually stems from incorrect detection zones, overly sensitive settings, a poorly aimed camera angle, or a model that lacks person-detection AI. A smart-home installer can reposition or re-aim the camera, fine-tune motion zones and sensitivity, enable person-only detection if supported, and verify that legitimate alerts reach your phone reliably.
