New update to cam v2 makes me pick a wide swath for detection zone vs the small Boxes. Now Im getting too many alerts due to blowing branches etc Please bring the boxes back or allow boxes within the wide zone to eliminate some areas [Mod Note]: Your request was moved to this category for better …

Yes I had to do a reinstall since my v2 decided it wasn’t recognizing my sd card anymore. After swapping cards and still having same issue I did a reinstall and now stuck with a wide box that is giving tons of false alerts. Ugh

Seeing the same problem with Cam V2 and only since the last update. One of the cameras required a fill reinstall of firmware using the sd card after the update. This seems to be a step backwards.

Yep that’s what happened to me. Wyze can you please undo and revert back to being able to pick small boxes to avoid the constant swaying branches etc. Come summer it will be useless to even turn this camera on.

[image] IL1: Now I get the drag-to-resize box, not the original detection zone grids. Just for your information, the one drag to resize box IS the original. The grids were introduced a year or two ago. Really sorry to see it take a step backwards (but only on iOS - see my post 4 two days ag…

Thanks for the correction. Didn’t mean to confuse anybody. I don’t remember seeing detection zone when I first got my V2s, and only started to set them last year and it was already in grids. Is it possible for Wyze to introduce a polygon detection zone? Or at least back to the grids for V2s?

I’ve added a post to the old detection zone wishlist post. Let’s hope someone from Wyze looks into this. [image] Greater Control Over Detection Zone Shape Wishes Granted UPDATE 11/18/20: This feature is now available in the Wyze app! You will need to have your app and fir…

Same issue here. I had to re-setup one of my v2 cameras and now I’m stuck with the big box detection zone.

I am having the same problem. Android phone. I had some camera at my house that had the grid. I moved the cameras to another location, set up a new account and added the cameras. Now the cameras just have the box, no the grid. The area that I need to exclude is in the middle only. The box is useless…

Likewise. Reset and re-added (without deleting from the app) a v2 running firmware 4.9.9.1851. None of the cam’s settings were retained. Detection Zone grid of small boxes replaced by the old resizable box.

Hopefully there’ll be enough of us at the next Fix It Friday. I would think this should be an easy fix…
