TinyCam Pro and Wyze Cam v3 - motion detection sensitivity

Are you using the Tiny Cam in-app motion detection? That's different from the Wyze in-camera motion detection.

Either way, it helps if you have it under the eaves or under a snow cover to avoid flakes right up close to the lens, and don't turn on the IR illumination because it bounces back brightly to the camera from snowflakes or raindrops.

Thanks.
I am using TinyCam's in-app motion detection.

I use it because it's more convenient and saves the recordings to my local hard drive that I can access from my PC. I find it much better than having to rely on using the Wyze app.
The camera is actually inside the house right up against a window. There's never been any issues with reflections or anything due to it being behind a blackout curtain and I do not use the IR lights (always using coloured night mode feature)

I was messing some more with the sensitivity settings in the app and I think I might have finally found a good spot. I have it set to 40 now.
It seems to be properly ignoring snow as motion now but still properly recording motion from cars/people.
