Motion Detection Too Sensitive? Let’s Fix It Together!

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed my eufy cameras sometimes send false motion alerts — like when a tree moves, light changes, or my cat walks by! It’s useful, but also a bit overwhelming when your phone keeps buzzing for no real reason.

So I wanted to start this thread for everyone facing motion detection issues — and for those who’ve already solved them. Let’s share what works!

Here’s what we can discuss :backhand_index_pointing_down:

  • Your device model (e.g., eufyCam 2C, SoloCam, Floodlight Cam)
  • Which sensitivity level or motion zone setup helped you
  • Whether firmware updates improved detection
  • If you use AI detection (human/pet) and how well it performs
  • Tips for reducing false alerts without missing real ones

Personally, I found that:

  • Lowering the motion sensitivity from 7 to 4 reduced false triggers.
  • Turning off “All Motion” and keeping only “Human Detection” helped a lot.
  • Setting motion zones carefully around doors and walkways works better than full-frame detection.

Would love to hear your experience — what settings or tricks worked best for you? Let’s build a quick go-to guide for everyone dealing with this issue.
