I just replaced the outside motion light on my old in-laws' house thinking this was the reason why the breaker kicks off when the old outside motion light shut off. Well it didn't help. Over the last year, I have install new wiring and a separate breaker inside the house to try to solve this problem.
From DIYchatroom.com:
Try removing the light, capping off the wires, and seeing if the circuit still trips.
Double check the switch - make sure the ground isn't close to the side or back of the switch.

My motion light is being tripped to shut off. The other night it came on twice then shut off. When I went out side at 2:30 am someone was going over the fence!
Any tips? Should I install more cameras?You may have to adjust the sensor range and sensitivity. This article shows how:

if someone is directly going into your yard, is there a chance that someone actually did trip or manipulate your light so that it would not go off?
if I were you I'd get a new light sensor but also a CCTV camera to see who is causing mischief on your property
