Nothing helps, so it seems I am left without a solution, getting dozens of false clips recorded when the sun is low.
In Alarm.com you can create up to 3 distinct video analytics rules per camera. If the effect is extreme and there is a lot of motion in certain parts of the image at a specific time of day which is causing lots of recordings, it may be good to split up your recording schedule into two parts.
You could use a more aggressive, wider ground zone during the normal hours. Then during the problem time period, draw back the ground zone to help exclude the areas where motion is just going to occur constantly.
I am not seeing a Surety subscription linked to your username. Do you use Surety for your Alarm.com service provider? If so, we can take a look at your rules and provide some recommendations.
In general best practices for Video Analytics rules in Alarm.com are described in the guide below:
You can filter out notifications related to non-human activity with analytics, but the motion will still trigger the recordings. One common issue is that the ground zone is sometimes drawn much wider than necessary. It should be limited to the ground visible in the frame where motion occurs that is desireable to record. It is not meant to select all the visible area in the frame where motion might occur.
If you want to send a Private Message with a screenshot of your ground zone on the recording rule showing what is selected in the camera image, we can make recommendations on how to proceed.
