Malfunctioning Street Lamp

Update: Last night still had 50+ false alarms/triggers/recordings.

Seems AI thinks the garbage can is a person, perhaps when it becomes illuminated.

Could be a faulty day/night sensor or the bulb.

Ask the utility where their closest staffed yard is. Pop in around start/end of day and mention the light issue to guys standing around a boom truck. Gates typically open during hours. Mention there seems to be a bottle of rum on it (or 4 mickey bottles). Have bottle(s) in hand when they come down. Expect an afternoon arrival.

If that fails, call the emergency number and say that you think the guy wire is in contact with the wires. Serious issue, mandates a response/visit. I’ve seen a couple of those while doing underground locates in areas.

Time to take it out... :picfail: ; )

I have a light on a school building in the distance in one view that's been flickering for years. Bugs me every time I look at that cam. lol If it were anywhere other than a school (and with its own cams) I'd have off'ed it by now.
 
I had a similar problem once. In the "Object detection" check off the "Object size exceeds". I think it was in you last screenshot or under the camera settings: Trigger -> Mention Sensor Configure -> Object Detection Edit. You may have to play with the percentage a bit but I was usually fine with the default of 67. As an example, this helped with motion floodlights turning on and off.
 
you could try what he said with the object size exceeds, and then create a Zone A and B rule make it so the object has to cross from A or B into the other zone for a trigger.
 
I tried object detection 67% and that did not help.

I could try crossing zones. Seems like adding more band aids on top of band aids, so I'm about ready to move on to the next unsolvable problem.
 
I'd just turn off the triggering until the light gets fixed. I suspect you are ignoring the 50+ triggers every night, so turning them off isn't really going to affect anything.
