This happens all the time, and reading around is a big bugbear for a lot of people.
Every time the lighting changes and the camera adjusts its exposure, it thinks it's OWN ADJUSTMENT is movement!
This is ridiculous and so easy to fix with a simple bit of code, which takes the logic of "when camera adjusts exposure, disable motion detection for 2 seconds".
Easy.
Not sure how one would go about easily stopping false positives based on people's shadows from low sun or moving headlights, but at least this would cut out a whole load of false positives from constantly changing cloud cover, or the street lights coming on, etc.
Maybe go as far as to add a safeguard, so that if the camera adjusts its exposure multiple times in rapid succession (say twice within 4 seconds) then it registers it as movement, in case someone is deliberately shining a torch at it.
Thoughts?
Disable motion detection upon exposure adjustment
