Person detected on indoor camera when no one is there

I'm getting person detected alerts almost every other minute on my 2nd Gen indoor ring camera when there is no one in the room. The only thing that I could think of is that my TV screen is somehow triggering it? I left the TV on Pokémon for the first time and that is the only time its done this. I usually leave it on some sort of cartoon show and it never does it so it leaves me to believe it has to be the show I had it on, maybe? Cause literally nothing in the room is different. It's well lit with no shadows or reflections and the lense is clean. Could it just be detected the people on the TV screen? Online it says that ring cameras won't go off from TV screens but when I turned off the TV the alerts stopped.

    Hi @user_01b557. It's possible that your TV was radiating enough heat and a person-shaped image on the screen caused a person alert. I recommend turning off the TV if you can't reposition the camera to avoid capturing it in the frame.
