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.
