Snowstorm outside, really?

Hi all.
I purchased a TAPO C500 device (HW 1.0 - FW1.1.2) which which I installed about 2 months ago.
The camera is installed outside the house and films the back yard (no trees or bushes or anything else in the scenario).
Occasionally, the camera gives false alarms of both movement and person detection.
Checking the playbacks it is possible to notice that the camera captures numerous moving white points, as if there were a snowstorm with the wind making the snowflakes change direction quiclky.
But in reality outside, there is no snow, there is no wind, there is no rain, there is no dust, there is nothing that can justify what the camera sees.
In these situations I have to disable detection so as not to continually receive alerts.
Is this a problem with the TAPO C500?
Or is it a limitation of the TAPO C500 and should I look for a higher quality device?

Thanks for your reply.
Since a photograph does not give an idea of the movement of the points, I attach a short video.
Outside the weather was good. I mean, no rain or snow.
Only very little haze visible around the light of the street lamps about 10 meters above the ground
I look forward to hearing from you
