Hello!
I just turned on motion detection for all my Dahua cameras (four HDW5231RP-ZE and two SD49225T-HN) yesterday evening, and this morning I checked what I got. Well, seems like my PTZ cams touring around, shoot IR beam across my yard and that triggers those cams that happen to see them. Most of my recordings were caused by this.
The second most common trigger was a car that passed by and its headlights hit my wall or somewhere so that camera saw motion there and started recording.
Third most common cause for recordings were caused by a moth flying near a camera.
When it's daytime, none of these happen, so this is problem during the night. I tried to search forums and google but didn't find anything about this. How are you people configured motion triggers, that PTZ IR beams, car headlights or moths do not trigger alerts/recordings? I cannot unmask all those areas where headlights or IR beams will hit, so how should I configure my cams so they do not care about those three things?
