Motion Frequency
Stick Up Cam (Plug-in)... Settings \> Motion Settings \> Motion Frequency... What does this really mean? I understand why you'd want to adjust the Motion Detection Sensitivity, but doesn't adjusting the Motion Frequency to anything other than "Frequent" kind of defeat the purpose of a motion-activated security camera? Why wouldn't you want to capture every detected motion? Isn't there equal odds between the captured motion being a violent intruder or a Girl Scount selling cookies? I get the battery conservation thought (although my camera is powered), but unless I completely misunderstand the purpose of this setting, it seems like a rediculous option.

    The reason motion frequency is a problem for many of us is that it controls alerts. In my case, and others, I receive alerts every ~20 seconds when someone is in view of my doorbell. Snoozing the device every time that happens is a nuisance and enough to make me disable the device until the app is corrected.
