I’ve set up a camera on a hummingbird feeder in the front yard - and I’ve set up a Detection Zone to have just movement on the hummingbird feeder set off alerts. [detection zone] However, every time a car drives by, on the left-hand side of the cam view - it sets off an alert (even though I have …

Can you post one of the video’s which caused the Alert. Curious if there is a reflection in the window from the Car passing or something else being reflected in the window.

Do you think the pet detection would pick up the hummingbirds?

I’m not sure that it will. I haven’t tried, since this is my first year with the cam, but I don’t want to have it set on and not have it actually catch them. [image] [image] So I do have Vehicle Detection turned off - and I have the motion sensor on. I also have the sensitivity settings jacked…
