To reduce false motion detection alarms caused by grainy video under low light, the document recommends activating a camera's noise tolerance function. This allows adjusting the noise tolerance level to account for different amounts of video noise. Higher noise tolerance makes the camera more tolerant of noise, while increasing motion sensitivity makes it more sensitive to real motion. The noise tolerance setting can be configured for different motion detection and analysis functions in a camera's software.
