lightswitch and noise_level have close to no effect

[TheFozid]

I have 'motion' installed on a Raspberry pi, and its setup outside as a CCTV camera. Only problem is it triggers too easily and with large changes in light from the sun/clouds.

I have tried tweaking 'lightswitch' and 'noise_level', but they have almost no effect.

To the point, I currently have set 'lightswitch' to 1 and 'noise_level' to 255, which in theory should practically disable motion detection. It does not. I still have the same issues. However, setting these values at the extremes does slightly reduce the false positives, but not completely.
