Wired floodlight camera identifying "person" every 2 minutes at night

[Vanh]

We just got a new Nest camera with floodlight.  It is installed in the backyard with very little activity.  It seems to work well in the day but at night the camera had a "person" event every 2 minutes.  The floodlights were also then coming on every 2 minutes!  I changed the setting so that the floodlights don't come on with camera detection so they would stop flashing all night but the camera itself is still recording these events.  As it got lighter in the morning the events have stopped.  Is this a problem with night vision or what can be done to stop this?  I thought the AI in these cameras should be better than thinking any glare or wind or something is a person!

Hi Vanh, by any chance are you in a windy area and the camera is facing bushes or trees that are swaying in the wind?  I know my nest cams (not the flood light) see this and get confused and issue false people alerts.  I sort of fixed the problem by aiming the camera down more so it only sees the cement/grass area.  Not a great solution but it worked.
