Why do I receive two notifications from the same Event?

Alfred’s Motion Detection algorithm determines if there is a "movement" by comparing one frame with the next. You will total receive two notifications when the videos are ready to be viewed. 

1. "There is motion detected on your _______(device name)"
   Alfred sends a notification first when your camera detects a motion. If you click on this notification, you will be taken to the Live session.
   
2. "Event video is ready!"Alfred sends a second notification after the camera finishes recording and uploading the video to your Event Book. If you click on this notification, you will be taken to the Event Book.
