Hello, I have my ring outdoor camera looking over over the lawn. I also have a robot mower machine. I set the motion settings at 1 and activated the person recognition option. I keep getting alerts all night when the mower passes in front of the camera.

I have this issue too and I think I have an idea that could work. Maybe some kind of decal with a pattern or maybe an IR reflector that could be affixed to the mower could be designed and then the camera can be re-programmed to ignore that "image" when it's in the field of view.

Hi @Agis07. Depending on the size of the mower, it may trigger a motion event regardless of if you have People Only Mode on. [People Only Mode](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032947972-Refining-Your-Motion-Alert-Notifications-for-People-and-Other-Motions-) can help you refine your motion alerts, but it will still register motion from movement in your Camera's view such as in the case of a mower moving in front of the Camera every night. You can read more about motion detection in Ring devices and how it works in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042728431-Advanced-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Devices). You may want to consider repositioning your Camera to get less of your lawn in view to cut down on alerts from the mower. :)
