"Detects motion" turns off randomly

Recently, my camera has stopped recording “events”. At the suggestion of a community member, I checked the Event Recording settings and found that “Detects motion” was turned off. Problem solved? Not exactly. It did begin recording events again, but just short-term. Now it turns “Detect motion” off, randomly. I checked this morning and found it had recorded the first few events, but turned off after that. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Well sometimes it’s a false display because the app hasn’t finished handshaking with the camera yet. I’d suggest “force closing” the app, restarting it, selecting the camera, and then waiting up to 30 seconds before trying to hit the gear / settings icon.
