UPDATE I think I figured this out. I no longer have snow, bugs, dust, car headlight beams across the yard tripping the recording and turning on the floodlight. There are in fact 2 aspects of this combo that can be set to trigger event recordings.
First there is the traditional motion detector, what we’re all used to. It’s sensitivity can be adjusted under Settings > Detection Settings. I have mine set to 11 for Motion and 40 for Sound.
Second, the camera itself by default is set to trigger event recording when it sees motion. This is what was causing issue. The camera trigger can be turned off (the motion detector will still function more than adequately to trigger needed recordings even at night). Settings > Accessories > Floodlight > Uncheck “Motion is detected by Camera” under Turn on when dark section. Also while here I have PIR checked, on Low, and at max distance.
No more every minute all night long events. No more flood light turning on every minute in a snowstorm. Cars, people, pets are all detected and recorded.
