Anybody use “people only” mode? I get motion alerts at night from car lights. (Not a big deal) but a have 2 pups that set this thing off more than anything when they’re outside in the front yard.

We do.

Yes, I think so. We live in a moderately traveled road. And, there's a traffic bump just to the side of our house. When the cars go over that bump we get lights that affect 2 of our cameras and when people walk down the street we get those too. When heavy trucks hit that bump the noise or vibration sometimes kicks off our sounds. Our dogs know to bark at the sounds in the front of the house. So, you can imagine. It cuts down the bulk of the barking!

I also have issues with car headlights at night - using People Mode has helped a lot. Sometimes I don't use it at night because we're having an issue with skunks - NOT in a rural area. :/ The spotlight cam will capture them crossing our driveway if NOT on people mode.
