If you’re getting too many motion alerts when your camera is set to People Only mode, we recommend trying the following tricks:

• Change your camera’s motion detection setting to All Motion

• Turn your camera’s sensitivity down to Medium or Low

• If you have Activity Zones set up, adjust them to also block off the zones around the image that the camera is detecting, as seen in the image below
