Maybe too sensitive, couple of extra features needed

All in All this seems to be a pretty good camera, only one I have owned other than Video doorbell. Couple of things I wish were better/different, I feel the power cable for the solar panel to camera should have been longer. I believe it is only 10' I would like to have a 15' cable. Also, would be great if this could be set up to use either Solar or AC power (house current). Next item is the sensitivity setting, I have a tree that this time of year has no leaves, and when the wind blows the branches cast a shadow on the wall of my house that the camera faces then the system detects the motion, which causes nonstop event notifications.
I use the Eufy E340 with my original doorbell chime. It was very easy to install and the small extension wires were so convenient. it was amazing that they thought to include them, It was very easy to connect to the home base and get working quickly.
I purchased a SoloCam S340 few months and installed it in front of our home. The camera did an excellent monitoring the area of interest and notified me whenever someone entered that area. Pleased with its performance I ordered a 2nd SoloCam S340 to monitor our backyard. The new camera has been performing well but I discovered one major limitation. While the camera allows one to setup multiple "Preset Positions", the camera monitors only one of the preset positions (the one set as default) versus periodically scanning all the presets for activity. That limitation will force me to purchase another SoloCam S340 to monitor the other areas of the backyard.
Easy to install, however, the wedge needed to be reversed and a spacer added to have the camera point at about a 15 degree angle towards the entrance center. I guess eufy didn't take into account that most exterior door frame trims are not flat.
