Motion doctor is too sensitive

[johnstonassoc]

Hi all

I have an outside flood camera. The motion detection is very sensitive and the flood lights go on multiple times at night. Even bugs set it off.

is there a way to reduce sensitivity to just trigger on cars and people?

Hi johnstonassoc,

Thank you for reaching out to the community. I understand you’re experiencing trouble with the motion sensitivity on your Nest Camera with Floodlight, which turns on every time, even with a little bugs. I’m happy to help.

To fix this, please follow these recommendations on your Floodlight:

- Check what triggers the Floodlight to turn on. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Select the Floodlight.
3. Open Settings.
4. Select “What turns on the Floodlight.”
5. From there, you can choose Motion and motion sensitivity.
6. Then you can select from high, medium, or low.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Byron
