A stray cat set off my backyard camera and now I test for false triggers

Ever thought about how much the seasons mess with your motion sensors too? My system goes nuts every fall when leaves start blowing across the lawn, and then again in winter with snow shadows. It's not just the daily sun you have to watch for, but how the whole environment changes month to month. I guess the real lesson is to test your setup a few times a year, not just when you first install it.
