Hello skymax04,

So you are getting a lot of false recordings? Try increasing the threshold to 5-10 and also keep the sensitivity low. Also set the detection area properly to exclude leaves on the outside moving etc.

Hello skymax04 ,

Not sure about that. It could be because camera has a dynamic IP. Try logging into the camera interface with the ip address from PC, and under set up > Network > TCP IP , please set the camera Ip to static instead of DHCP
