Anyone else having this issue out of nowhere? I have the sensitivity turned all the way down and usually it only picked up people and when the garbage trucks would drive by. Today though it's picked up 4 regular cars.

Good to know I'm not alone. May just have to set it to "people only" mode for now.

My RING doorbell requires me to press the doorbell ring chime in order for changes to be accepted. Is that true for your model?

Nope, firmware updates automatically for me. I've never had to do anything to approve it. I've got the pro model and not 2, so that may be the difference.

My Nest only sends me a notification if it spots a person. Otherwise it will still make a note in the timeline, but doesn't bother me about it.

My Ring doorbell is a POS. I get about 30-40 false alarms a day with nothing. My Ring flood light seldom ever alerts without some visible motion like a cat, dog, squirrel, moth ......

I had to do this after every pair of passing headlights set mine off at night.
