Can the cam V4, with no cam plus, and no subscriptions, be set to notify for for person detection only , and do so successfully?
I have a many V3 & V3 pro cameras which do allow you to set notification for person notifications only, person detection only, and not all motion detections. However, I have the doorbell V2 which does not allow this feature unless you sign up to cam plus. I don’t know if my floodlight v2 can do it because I do have a cam plus subscription for that one but I don’t think it does person only detection without a subscription.
Can someone answer this for the V4?
Nope, and there was a lot of discussion about this last year that eventually seemed to result in Wyze changing their public messaging about that camera’s capabilities without a subscription attached. Here’s one example that links out to others:
No, v4 does not include that, I have one with no subscription. I believe only the v3 pro has the “onboard AI” which is why it costs 2 to 3x the v4.
Thanks for the reply. I’m not talking about the onboard AI person detection, just the ability to set notifications to person only. I can do this on my v3 and v3 pro by just going to notification, and checking person and unchecking other motion events (for v3). On my doorbell v2 if I even try to check the box for person detection, it takes me to a subscription page.
Does the v4 allow the person box to be checked with no subscription?
Thanks
No, that requires cam plus AI or onboard AI.
On your v3 pro you have onboard AI which is why you can do it. On your v3 you must have Cam Plus Lite, which is an old free subscription that can not be used with any newer cam (including the v4).
Person detection on the v4 requires a subscription. If that is an important feature (and you do not want to subscribe) then you’ll need to get another v3 and associate it with your Cam Plus Lite account, or a v3 pro.
