Hi all - first post here.
I’m also having the same issue with the latest version - the camera triggers false motion detection events – approximately every 2 or 3 minutes. Frequently, when viewing the Video Motion Detection window, the activity timeline does not show any activity bars (Blue) exceeding the configured trigger thresholds, yet one or more of the motion detection regions are in BOLD outline - indicating they have been triggered.
When I playback the recorded false MD event video (from local storage) at the point of event trigger, it appears the camera has adjusted the exposure settings, which results in the overall image becoming brighter or darker. This sudden shift in image brightness apparently triggers the motion detection logic, thereby generating the false motion detection event. I’ve tried adjusting the Motion Detection sensitivity and trigger levels, but the false triggers continue and the low-sensitivity and high-trigger values effectively disable the motion detection feature.
I have since restored the E73’s firmware to V6.03.17 and the camera is performing with minimal false motion detection events, however with this version the camera crashes once a day – requiring a re-boot.
I submitted a case with ACTi and they’re investigating the issue. I’ll update you all when I hear back from ACTi.
