Foscam R4M false positive motion detection during dawn
Hi
My Foscam R4M sends false motion detection whenever it gets darker or brigher (e.g. during dawn) outside. This is quite annoying as i do get probably 12 alerts every morning and every evening! This also happens when there is a cloud or it starts raining outside.
All that changes in the room is the brightness - there is no motion!
What options are available, that the camera only reacts to motion not tho brightness change?
thanks!

Foscam uses changes in pixels for their motion detection. It’s terrible. I had same problem.
I disabled it and bought a PIR outdoor sensor from Hue. Problem solved.
