• Balloons
• Decorations
• Insects or cobwebs moving on the device
• Curtains moving from blowing air from air conditioning, heating, or open windows/doors
• Movement outside a window that is within the motion detector's field of view
• Movement outside a window causing moving shadows inside the room
