@user_b8bivt If your Xfinity doorbell camera is sending alerts for motion outside of the customized area setting, you can take the following steps to resolve the issue:
Adjust the motion detection settings in the Xfinity app to better define the area.
Point the camera away from busy areas to minimize unnecessary alerts.
If needed, turn off notifications for specific times or modes, such as Away Watch or Dark Watch.

 

These adjustments can help reduce unwanted motion notifications from your camera.

Thank you Raul for responding. However, the steps you mentioned do not resolve the issue. I believe the app is defective.

hi there. Is the App giving you an error message when you try to modify the settings?

After modifying the area, I tested for motion alerts. Motion inside the area generated an alert, and motion outside the area did not. It appears that changing the area fixed the issue. I'll post again if I get any incorrect alerts.

Thanks Roberto
