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 ![]()
- 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.
