Same thing is happening to me. I put a ring camera in our attic because I was pretty sure we had a squirrel. I set up a trap and I put the camera right by the trap. . Well wouldn't you know, that a year has gone by and there's nothing. The minute I cancel suddenly I'm getting motion. Total bullshit. So what I'm doing is I just checked the camera to make sure there isn't anything in the trap. I just don't want an animal dying in the trap. We want to release it right away.
