Cars on street, outside my motion zone, trigger camera at night

I have my security camera set up with 2 zones in my driveway/front yard.
I have my sensitivity set up one higher than the lowest (Person).
It works great during the day as nothing triggers the camera to come on outside my zones.
But at night cars on the road trigger the camera to come on even though the road in not in either of my zones.
If I put my sensitivity to the lowest setting (people) at night is does not trigger the camera to come on but it is kind of inconvenient to have to change this setting every night.

- 0I have the same problem with my Ring Doorbell Pro. There appears to be a bug in the motion algorithm. Every day at dusk when the car headlights are pointing directly at the camera, I get a motion alert. I played back the video and I don't see the car or any headlight reflections in the Motion Zone. I do notice the IR LEDs immediately go off then back on again, so the bug appears to be that the IR LEDs are being controlled by the whole image and not by the image defined by the the Motion Zone. Changing the Motion Sensitivity has no effect. The false trigger is being directly caused by the IR LEDs and indirectly by the car's headlights. The 2nd part of the bug is that there is no delay in the IR LED control; why does it need to have such a quick response time, when the sun moves slowly? The workaround would be to turn on People Only, but that adds an annoying delay.•
