Will mounting a wireless Stickup Cam directly above light fixture affect motion trigger?

I have a wireless Stickup Cam mounted directly above a light fixture outside of my garage. The motion triggers seem to be hit or miss, sometimes it triggers sometimes it doesn't. When it does, it's well within the motion zone. This happens when the light is on.

    Hi @MJasonlane. The light directly beneath the Stick Up Cam could definitely be impacting the [motion detection](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042728431-Advanced-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Devices). Ring devices use passive infrared (PIR) sensors to detect motion, which the light fixture would directly impact. I'd suggest trying a different mounting location if possible.
