Garden motion false positives due to trees and lighting

Hi,

New to openCV here. I am trying to build a system to capture motion-activated photos/videos of the animal in my garden. Most of the motion detection algorithms I found online subtract the current frame from the initial frame, but that doesn't work outdoors as the lighting changes over the course of the day.

I currently subtract the current frame from the previous frame, however this still gives me a lot of false positives due to the wind moving the leaves in the trees.

Are there other algorithms I should look into in order to detect exclusively the sustained motion of foreground objects?

Thanks!
