Lights turning on trigger motion event

[Loki]

Yes, it’s normal. The motion detection is based on the amount of pixel change in the live image. You can adjust the sensitivity in the camera’s settings, but that’s probably not going to help much with headlights that sweep the entire field. You can also set a detection zone which may allow you to exclude the area that the headlights and neighbor’s lights.

Ignore Motion Detection for events under X seconds

I have this feature on my Dlink cameras, and its very helpful at night, when bugs / rain / snow fly past the view outdoors. Its a simple check box that notes that it wont send alerts for detection lasting less than 1s. figured it would be pretty simple to implement and would save us outward looking users lots of non-events.
