No, its not that sensitive. The cameras react only when there is significant movement - you can change the settings to the level of sensitivity you prefer. This makes it better for pet owners such as myself since our dog would always trip the camera. Not entirely sure how it works but our dog wont set off the camera but my 3 year old daughter does. Ours are also linked to our sensor lights too so all the outdoor lights come on if there is a disturbance.

I have actually heard on the a year or so back that someone kept gettting surveillance cameras being paranoid about his security and had a home invasion demading money which he didnt have (dont worry hes alive to tell the story)

So it can happen you just have to be descrete on where you put the cameras as by the look of his he had them in full view of everyone and his place looked like a fort or something

Scary, well if anyone takes a look at our TV they will be able to tell there is no money in the house!
