    Hi @danielarand. No, a low battery would not cause a false alarm from your Motion Detector. The Motion Detector utilizes PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detection, which can be triggered from heat sources or reflective surfaces. We have some tips on how to prevent false alarms with the Motion Detector [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050055992-Motion-Detector-False-Alarm-Tips). I hope that helps!
