[Support]: High Motion Sensitivity

Describe the problem you are having

Hi, I’ve been having an issue where in version 0.10.1 motion detection is too sensitive, this usually happens where there is grass in the wind. I have tried changing the threshold and contour_area however this misses a lot of actual motion, which isn’t ideal. I have also turned off imporved_contrast and this did help somewhat but the problem is still there any help would be fantastic, Thanks!

Height is a single dimension and area is in two dimensions. If you double the frame height, you need 4x the area to be proportional.
