Camera feed flashing causing motion alerts

Jump to solution

I recently set up a new Indoor 360 camera and its been working great. This morning, I have been receiving motion alerts, but when I check the event, it is the feed of the camera itself that is "flashing" and causing the alert. It appears that the camera is going in and out of focus, or having trouble adjusting the light levels. Not a huge deal but a little annoying. Has anyone else had this experience? Is this simply the result of the camera adjusting to the changing light over the course of the morning?
