AVTECH AVN80X camera trigger motion alert all night long

Recommended Posts

I have an AVN80X camera set up in vacation house with the PUSH Video alert set up and found out after checking on the camera that the push video alert was not being sent even though the camera was recording video of a guy living in the house for 2 weeks after breaking in!! Fortunately, we were able to get the police over there and they arrested the guy but he made a big mess of the house. Good news is it doesn't look like anything/much was stolen.

 

So, I had to drive to the house (4 hours away) and download all the video and get it to the police. I took the camera down while I was over there and reset it in the same basic location as before and now once it gets dark, the camera has a "MOTION TRIGGER!" alert that is basically continuous whenever it is night time. The camera isn't rigidly mounted but it is in what I would consider a location that isn't vibrating or anything. I switched over to email alerts and now I am receiving hundreds of emails a night. This is obviously frustrating.

 

I have tried changing the motion sensitivity between 1 and 10 and nothing seems to help and I painted over certain areas (windows and a lighted lightswich) that I thought could be triggering it but no luck. Looking at the live feed shows everything pitch black except the lighted lightswitch.

 

Any ideas what is going on here and can it be addressed somehow remotely?

 

Thanks!
