Shadows triggering events

I have seven IPC-HDWW5231R-Z cameras, and on 3 of them I have shadows from trees most of the day. Any amount of wind, and the cameras are picking up movement and sending me notifications. This can be up to a couple hundred a day, so it's getting really annoying.

I increased the size of the minimum box for the intrusion zones, but it got to the point where I don't catch real movement. Here's a picture from a few minutes ago. Most of the triggers are from Rule 4 in the center of the driveway. I'd delete it, but Rule 3 doesn't always catch a car in the driveway. Any suggestions?

Joining the thread so I can see what gets recommended and not miss any responses.

I have a slightly less shade/motion scenario, but its ultimately still a shade problem. I want to catch all movement in the front yard to deter lazy pet owners leaving their dog poop in the front yard, but if set too sensitive then when the small tree is blowing in the wind I get 50 alerts an hour. At this time I am just guessing I have to live with it until I can afford a SeaLevel and Bosch OD850's to trigger Blue Iris, but if there is some things offered to try and can tinker in the meanwhile.

Unfortunately, if I don't see it happen, even though I am recording 24x7, I just can't force myself to watch 5-10 days of video looking for the perpetrator (I usually see the poo when I mow every 5-10 days). Hoping a solution offered to @Titan912S will also work as a temporary solution for me.
