Thank you for clarifying that the AI algorithm is functioning as designed with respect to these objects, inanimate as they may be in the scenarios I gave. Also, thanks for updating me on the fact that there is a wish list item to have the AI only tag moving recognized objects. I DO understand the difficulties in filtering out superfluous motion that is causing what I deem to be unnecessary notifications. The goal is to allow the superfluous motion to continue to process as motion WITHOUT sending the notifications when only certain AI MOTION tags are in place, e.g. donât notify me when a car is just sitting in my driveway, but DO notify me when it moves. That I would like to see if it at all possible.
Rewind to before AI tags were available on Wyze, and one DID want notifications for certain movements. At that time, I had to manually filter my detection zone on my doorbell cam so that trees, bushes and my wifeâs flower boxes on our front porch did not send me a notification when there was movement sensed. I had to change the filtering at least several times/week. Changing sunlight shadows caused by our wind spinner also created this same scenario. With the advent of AI tags, I now do not have to mask out any of the detection zone, as passing cars trigger a notification but the trees, bushes and plants do not! Changes in light (such as the changing sunlight shadows caused by our wind spinner) did the same, as well, which of course they do not nowâŚALL EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I DO GET NOTIFICATIONS WHEN THESE MOVEMENTS OCCUR IF THERE IS A PARKED CARD IN MY DRIVE OR A PACKAGE ON MY FRONT STEP! Iâm sure that you understand I am aware of the current programming challenges to rectify the problem. Bottom Line: Inanimate objects should NOT trigger notifications!!
On another motion notification problem, I TWICE within two weeks have been called by Noonlight when away from home with my security system engaged. I figured it out in retrospect: A v2 motion sensor sits on my fireplace mantel and there is a pan cam in the room as well. Apparently sunlight from a front window in the early winter afternoons (when we have sunlight this time of year, which isnât often, LOL) shone on a narrow area wherein the sensor was located. Well the sun only shone on that spot for a few seconds, but when the sun evidently went behind a cloud the change in light on the sensor was enough to trigger motion and set off my alarmâthank goodness Noonlight was able to contact me first before they called the cavalry, as I told them it probably was a false positive which shortly thereafter I confirmed by reviewing cam footage from that room. I moved the sensor when I got home to a spot on the mantel that appears is not in line with any sun streaming in from our front windows. So this, too, hopefully will be looked at by the AI team (if you tell them) with the hope of massaging that respective algorithm?
I thank you for contacting me and hope that the AI wizards can fine tune the algorithms in question, so please pass these observations on to them. I look forward to Wyzeâs continued improvements on what they currently offer and to future innovations.
