Background/Ignore settings for Smart detection

[SlabSlayer]

Welcome to the user forum community @Zigmatism! Don’t forget to Vote at the top.

This has been a Wyze user complaint for some time now. The cams are dependant on motion for recording activation but the AI is NOT dependant on motion for tagging. Also, the AI ignores detection zones, those are only used for motion activations.

Parked cars are my Kryptonite! But I also get the package alerts for the doormats or the downspout runoff ramps.

Wyze has said they are moving toward moving object AI detection to fix this, but the outlook doesn’t look good for the near term. This is their post from 4\11\22. So, your Wishlist request should get elevated to a #roadmap list item soon.

Discord - AI detection is identifying still objects in-frame when regular motion is detected

We’re going to remove this from our updates because we’re working on moving object detection but it will take a long time to get going between the design and the implementation. We want to carefully design this feature so we don’t accidentally impact users who would like to keep vehicle notifications for parked vehicles. In a future release, we’ll also be providing the option to turn on and off notifications for specific object detection like vehicles. Here’s the blurb from last week in case you missed it:

We are already working on moving object detection! But this is a very large undertaking that will take place over the coming months. We’ll provide updates when we have them. In the meantime, you may want to try using motion detection zones to narrow the detection area or turn off a specific AI detection type if you want to reduce your unwanted notifications.
