Motion detection not reliable, caution

I gave this review 2 stars because the motion detection doesn't work. Luckily I bought it to watch the stray cats I'm feeding and not to protect myself from a real intruder. Half the time the motion sensor warns me of BUGS and RAIN all night. The other half of the time it didn't bother me at all. I put food in for the cats and I can tell the food was eaten but the alarm didn't go off. Or he only alerts me when the animal leaves the picture. I actually checked the app and saw the cat eating live on my porch but there is still no detection alarm. This is very frustrating. It only records the detected motion for about 10 seconds, I wish you could adjust this time interval. I guess 10 seconds of evidence won't last long in court! If you need it for serious protection, please don't buy it! I would give it one star but the picture quality is good and it was pretty easy to set up.
