I have a front yard garden with zone restrictions that limit my fence height to 4 feet and a deer problem.
Does anyone have experience using a wyze cam to detect deer and trigger an automated event? Maybe turning on a sprinkler or making a scare crow pop up?
Have you looked at something like this:
Not sure if Deer are scared off by a siren, but the Wyze V3 Camera has a siren on it (80dB). You could setup a detection zone on the garden that turns on the siren if motion or a “pet” is detected.
Yes, I have… I was hoping to create something smarter that would scare deer, but not the mailman using the wyze AI.
Since the camera won’t detect deer specifically, I doubt it is any smarter. 
Pet detection probably wouldn’t identify deer and motion detection won’t work for your needs since it would trigger for the mailman.
A sparrow tried to take up residence in my v3 equipped bluebird house. Blasted the siren, which had to be deafening inside a small box. Didn’t faze the bird at all. Had to open the birdhouse and clean out the nest.
Had some crows totally decimate the sunflower seed tray. Have a WOC pointed at the tray to monitor the seed, because the squirrels make me put the tray on a 10 foot pole.

I’d like to use my Wyze cam to detect the Mail Delivery Vehicle and notify me when “You’ve got mail.” or Mail’s in ala Addams Family whoop whoop.
I’m not aware of a Wyze mailbox sensor or a garage door tilt sensor.

After a week or so of getting woken from a nap by ‘whoop whoop whoop Mail’s in’ I changed it to a chime. But the bigger issue was getting the signal from inside a metal mailbox that is inside a brick enclosure was challenging. Had to put a bulb that is a repeater in one of the post lamps in the front yard, Then I drilled a hole in the metal mailbox all the way inside just large enough for the motion sensor to fit into and also not be shielded by the metal mailbox. After a few weeks the humidity inside the mailbox corroded the motion sensor. I replaced it and put it inside a Ziploc bag.
So even if you put a camera inside the mailbox, I doubt your WiFi would reach.
